About this site

Source

Getting to Huckleberry Hut means a 4x4 road rather than a pull-off the highway, and the Kootenay Mountaineering Club is where to read up on the hut itself before you go.

The listing shows 2 camp units, first come, first served, and hiking is the reason people come. Barrett Lake and its cabin are about 3 km away.

Porto Rico is about 5.4 km off and the nearest fuel about 14.9 km, so leave the pavement with the tank full. Salmo Riverside is about 9.5 km out, the Delaurentiis Bluffs trailhead about 15.7 km, and the Nelson and Kaslo network, 226 mountain bike trails, about 19.4 km.
