Janet's Hut

I spent the last three days cooling out at 11,677 feet in Janet's Hut. Janet's belongs to the famous 10th Mountain Division Hut System. The weather was particularly good (see below). With beautiful clear days and cold nights. It was -8F when I left the hut the other morning. The hut was warm as toast, and sported amenities like solar electricity and a wood-fired sauna. The altitude worked me over a bit and I felt slightly unwell most of those three days, but still had a great time and snowshoed around well above treeline, which is always fun. Here's a cut-n-paste panorama of the hut. We walked all the way up from the side of Copper mountain. You can see the end of the tenmile range at the right in this pic.



Now it's time to get back to work. There's no shortage of that waiting at the moment. :-)
