Fowler-Hilliard Hut
Located between Red Cliff and Leadville, this is one of the most popular huts in the 10th Mountain Division Hut System. It has good nearby skiing and terrific views on the approach.
Resolution Mountain is out the front door with great turns. Multiple other options in the area.
The main winter route into the Fowler-Hilliard Hut follows a snow-covered road up McCallister Gulch which is closed to motorized use during the winter. For a slight longer and more gradual ski in, you can follow the road along Resolution Creek (groomed for snowmobiles – expect and respect all users) for about 3 1/2 miles before leaving the road to switchback up to the hut.
Refer to the 10th Mountain Division website for availability, reservation pricing, amenities, beds set-up, furnishing, policies, and conditions. Also there you will find route descriptions to get there and gpx tracks. Hut-to-hut opportunities, with routes and gpx tracks also are described.
