Conrad Kain hut, Mountain shelter in Bugaboo Provincial Park, Canada
The Conrad Kain Hut stands at 1900 meters elevation in British Columbia, providing shelter and facilities for mountaineers exploring the Purcell Mountains.
The wooden structure, built in 1972, carries the name of alpinist Conrad Kain who first explored the surrounding Bugaboo area in 1910.
The Alpine Club of Canada maintains this shelter as part of their network of mountain accommodations, supporting the Canadian climbing community since 2000.
The hut contains methane-powered lamps, cooking facilities, and sleeping space for 40 people, requiring a 3.5-kilometer hike with 700 meters elevation gain for access.
During summer months, a resident custodian manages the facility, collects fees, and shares information about climbing opportunities in the surrounding granite spires.
