The meadow that the hut borders. You can see Basin Peak in the background.
Here's the hut! You go in and out through the second story during the winter. There's another door around on the other side at ground level but it had about 3 feet of snow in front of it.
Sunset from the second story landing.
Sunrise through the trees.
The sunlight starting to spill over Basin Peak.
A shot of the other side of the hut. The snow covered extension is where the ground level entrance is.
Looking at the main downstairs room of the hut.
They sure stockpile the wood for the season, eh?
A side room on the ground floor. There were benches carved from large trunks on either side and a table in the middle.
Preparing to leave the hut on Saturday morning.
We decided to forge a new path on the way out.
Since we were both on MSR Denali Ascent snowshoes, we decided to give the televators a try. This is about a 30 degree slope in places. Nice and icy. The snowshoes bit in and held w/out any problems, a totally secure ride.
A taste of what we went over on our climb up.
Before hiking out, we climbed up to this outthrust to look over the peak.
