Summer at Backcountry Skiing Huts

Bookmark and Share            By Lou

Visited the 10th
Mountain Division Margy’s Hut yesterday, doing
some photography and whatnot for Jaywalker
Lodge website (they’re using the 10th Huts for their outdoor
program). Located just below timberline in Colorado’s stupendous
Sawatch mountains, Margy’s is best known as a backcountry skiing
destination, but it is open in the summer and highly recommended.
You can drive to within a few hundred feet of the hut and use it
as a base camp for mountain biking or wilderness hiking — or chain
the hut with a few others in the system and do a long bicycle or
horse trip through the Sawatch.
