Elizabeth Parker hut, Mountain hut in Yoho National Park, Canada.
Description
The Elizabeth Parker Hut is a pair of log cabin structures located near Lake O'Hara at high elevation in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. The facility provides basic sleeping accommodations, cooking equipment, and propane-powered lighting for guests.
History
The hut was constructed in two phases, with the first building completed in 1912 and the second in 1919. It later received recognition as a federal heritage building due to its role in the growth of mountain recreation in Canada.
Culture
The hut is maintained by the Alpine Club of Canada and serves as a gathering place for climbers and hikers exploring the mountains. Visitors meet fellow outdoor enthusiasts who share the same passion for high-altitude adventures.
Practical
The hut is accessible via hiking trails and requires physical effort due to the high elevation. Visitors should prepare for basic conditions and bring their own food and appropriate gear.
