Mountain huts, rooted in centuries-old traditions, have been vital sanctuaries for skiers and mountaineers worldwide. Originating from simple shacks, these shelters evolved into diverse accommodations, ranging from basic cabins to modern lodgings. In Colorado, the hut movement gained momentum in the late 1940s, leading to the creation of ski-oriented huts like the Tagert Hut. Inspired by this legacy, the Alfred A. Braun Memorial Hut System and the 10th Mountain Division Hut Association expanded, offering extensive backcountry opportunities while honouring the 10th Mountain Division soldiers. Today, these huts serve as essential refuges, preserving history and enabling contemporary adventurers to explore Colorado's wilderness.
