Built in 1986 & opened in December, 1986, with the new hut incorporating parts of the old hut as staff quarters. Unfortunately, 3 months later in February, 1987, a landslide engulfed the new hut, sweeping the staff quarters into the Copland River. The new hut was dug out of the debris & shifted to a new site by DOC & L & S. Hut must be booked online in advance year-round. Adults $30, youth $15, or backcountry hut pass can be used to book in winter only (1 May - 30 Sept). Edit Hut
