Harry Gates Hut.
Built in 1986, Harry Gates Hut was the fourth structure added to the 10th Mountain system. Nowadays it’s open to the public for back country access and excellent kickbacks. I will always cherish the memories of my first hut trip. The crackling of the wood burning oven, the peacefulness of nature surrounding us, the late nights and early morning, the pain of the half dollar sized blister on my heal, the two kegs that we were determined to finish in two days and the good friend I was able to spend it with! Cheers to you Harry Gates hut and to many more trips like this to come!
