The Abbot Pass Hut was one of the most unique huts in North America. It was built in 1922 with the stones from the pass and has served as a base for mountaineers and as a destination for strong hikers until it was dismantled in 2022.
fascinating short documentary about the Abbott hut. I am so glad you used a real narrator and somehow the voice of that gentleman is encouraging in that I am led to believe there will be another refugee built at some point. Thank you very much for this! J in Toronto
Been there many times. Had no idea it was unstable. Climbed up to it by way of the infamous "Death Trap" in the 60s. A new hut would be fitting tribute to the old.
Definitely quite the amazing history. Even for those of us who only saw the hut from afar at the end of the Plain of Six Glaciers Trail, it was still a cherished memory to see it.
And just this morning I read that the same thing is happening to many mountain huts in Switzerland and Italy. How many of them will have to be taken down?
Lol… anyone who thought the hut was on solid rock or that “change comes slowly” was an utter fool. Lol. How in the heck could anyone mountaineer in the Canadian Rockies and think that? 😂😂 these mountains are in constant change - they were before and they will be in the future…. And none of it is solid lol!
