This is a three day, two night hut trip to Vance's Cabin. The trip is sponsored by the RMOTHG section of the Denver Group. We have reserved the entire cabin, which includes fourteen beds. Registration is limited to RMOTHG members only. Due to limited space and high demand, registration will be held via a lottery during the month of May. Please see the May RMOTHG newsletter for further details.

Itinerary is under development and review. Distance and elevation encompass route to and from the hut on Day 1 and Day 3. Tentatively, an optional six-mile day trip, going part of the way to Jackal Hut, will be offered on Day 2.
The trip elevation begins at 10,424' and peaks at 11,160' before descending to Vance's Cabin at 10,980'. The distance to the cabin is 3.1 miles. The route into Vance's Cabin follows a marked ski trail beginning at the base of Ski Cooper. It follows rolling terrain and gentle climbs into the hut.
There are no avalanche dangers in this area. We will enjoy beautiful views during the day and stargazing at night.
Required Equipment
Required equipment and meal planning will be communicated via email to registered and paid participants. Participants will also need to sign a 10th Mountain Division waiver and forward that to the trip leader to finalize the registration process.
