A living database of nearly 100 backcountry huts, yurts, cabins, and alpine lodges across Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, and the Canadian Rockies. For skiers, bikepackers, hikers, and anyone who thinks a wood stove at 10,000 feet is the right way to end a day.
The American West has the densest concentration of backcountry huts outside the Alps, but the information about them lives in forty different operator websites, a few guidebooks, and Reddit threads. This is an attempt to put it in one place. Each entry now includes approach distance, estimated approach hours, approach difficulty, elevation, sleeps, price, a normalized cost per person per night for apples-to-apples comparison, season tag, cell service, water source, features, best-for audience, booking difficulty, distance from Salt Lake and Denver, and notes.
NEW IN v.4 → Interactive map view. Zoom, pan, click pins to see hut details.Click a column header to sort ascending. Click again to reverse. Works on name, elevation, sleeps, miles and hours approach, normalized price, driving distances, and every numeric field.
Narrow by region, activity (ski/bike/hike), season (winter/summer/year-round), features (sauna, hot tub, waterfall, ADA, dogs, luxury, glacier), and best-for audience (families, experts, couples, first-timers). Stack filters.
The "Norm $/PP/Night" column converts per-yurt rentals and all-inclusive week packages into a rough $/person/night figure so you can compare. The Price Basis column still shows what's actually included (bed only vs. meals vs. heli).
The Book column links straight to the operator's reservation page. A few smaller operators use Google search as a fallback when I couldn't confirm the exact URL, so either way the link lands you somewhere useful.
