The Jumbo Pass hut, constructed in September of 1997, replaced a small 30 year old structure that had seen its better days and was too small to meet the demands of an ever-growing interest of hikers and skiers to see the beautiful vistas of Jumbo Pass. \u00a0The new 8 person cabin was a joint project involving the Columbia Valley Hut Society and a Forest Renewal B.C. grant. \u00a0It sits on the ridge along the Purcell divide, about .5 km north of Jumbo Pass. \u00a0There is quality hiking, scrambling and ski touring available in this small alpine location. Views are superb and include Karnak and Jumbo Mountains to the north-east and Cauldron\/Horseshoe glaciers to the south-west. \u00a0A nearby tarn, just to the east of the cabin, is the summer season drinking water source.<\/p>\n

Please use firewood sparingly, \u00a0during winter only. It is very expensive to fly in! Bonfires are prohibited. The sensitive subalpine ecosystem of the Jumbo Pass area cannot sustain any firewood cutting, please refrain from this damaging practice.<\/p>\n

Jumbo Hut is in high demand, its booked 95% of the year, reservations are very competitive. The Pass area is also very popular with day users & tent campers. *Hut users should expect others in the area especially on summer weekends, they are naturally drawn to the Hut itself. Hut users should not shy away from protecting the Hut as their legal domicile, just like a Hotel room rented for the night.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
