Five wilderness huts sit pretty atop the foothills of North Cascades National Park just outside of Winthrop, Washington’s cowboy town.

Every hut is unique, but all have a full kitchen with propane stoves, an oven, pots, pans, utensils, a wood stove heater and fuel, sleeping pads, propane lights, and a clean outhouse. Don’t forget to wake up for sunrise! The views are next level.
