Summer 2024 Projects
This summer we will be upgrading solar systems at the Lindley and Tagert and replacing the solar system at the Green Wilson. We will also be sprucing up the Barnard by refinishing the floor, adding a recently donated wood stove (Thank you Ruthie Brown!). We will also be replacing some doors and windows at the Barnard and Tagert.
Thank you for your support of the huts and your help making them such a wonderful resource for our community!

Truck Fundraising Campaign Thank you for your support!
We have exciting news that a donor has pledged a $30,000 gift to help us fundraise for our new hut truck! Through Colorado Gives day and your generous help with other donations we were able to fundraise an additional $18,966 and purchase our new Hut truck. We are so thankful for everyone’s support!
Our beloved 2008 F-350 has seen many seasons in the high country delivering all of the wood, construction materials, and hut essentials for you, our hut community. In fact, this truck carried most of the Opa Hut over Taylor Pass to the helicopter staging area during it's construction in 2012.
A huge Thank You for your 2020 support!
When we reached out for your help this spring and summer we were able to raise $18,000! Amidst the uncertainty of the pandemic, cancelations, and the coming winter this enabled us to move forward with two essential repair projects to the foundations of the Tagert (1960) and the Barnard huts (1967).
