Shrine Mountain Huts

This mountain is a favorite wildflower area in the summer and a favorite snow sports area in the winter. The Hut collection near the top of the mountain is still sometimes referred to as "Shrine Mountain Inn."

Shrine Mountain offers privately-owned hut rentals all year through the 10th Mountain Division Hut system.  Call for information at +1-970-925-5775

The usual hike/snowshoe/ski up is on the Shrine Mountain Ridge Trail.  Parking and TH are accessed on Shrine Pass Rd from the I-70 Exit 190 /Vail Pass.  The road up to the huts closes seasonally.  A large rest area with restroom is adjacent to the parking area.

Many off-trail out-and-back opportunities in the winter, especially from the huts.
