Hermit Thrush Cabin is reached via a 6 km trail. The challenge of the trail is the 885 m (3000 ft) elevation gain, and it typically takes about 3 hours to hike up. Sturdy shoes/boots are a must, and sufficient fitness to carry your gear up the trail.
The cabin is off-grid, although there are solar lights and one USB port. There is no cell phone service right at the cabin but a short distance away there is Telus service. There is also no shower.
The cabin is cleaned regularly, but cannot be cleaned between every set of guests. So we ask guests to leave the cabin as clean as they found it. Please, no smoking inside the cabin.
Mountain weather can change at any time, in any season. Nights are often cold even in the summer, and rain can start quickly after blue skies. Please pack clothes and gear accordingly.
