The Hut is at the end of an easily traversed trail which may be traveled by any non-motorized method.  One group comes in yearly by dog sled.  Dogs are welcome. 

You will gain 300 vertical feet on the way in while traveling well below the hazards of higher terrain.  The Hut sits at 9,600 feet. 

Surrounding trails will challenge backcountry travelers of every ability.  Many High Lonesome visitors are first time hut users.  Neophytes often use snowshoes for wintertime travel to the Hut.  The Hut is accessible to anyone in good physical condition and is an excellent playground for children.

The High Lonesome Hut provides extremely comfortable lodging in the wild. 

The three story hut has a wood cook stove, running water with an indoor flush toilet, a shower, hot and cold running water, firewood, solar electricity, games, mattresses, and kitchen utensils (pots, pans and settings for twelve). You provide....sleeping bags and food!

The basement of the hut has a wood cook stove, sitting area and roll away couch. The main floor has a kitchen, dining area, bathroom and a small sleeping area. There are two bedrooms in the loft.
