Fay hut

Fay Hut is a mountain shelter managed by the Alpine Club of Canada located in the remote peaks of British Columbia. The facility offers lodging in an alpine environment and serves climbers and hikers planning to explore the surrounding mountains.

The original structure was built in 1927 and was destroyed by a forest fire in 1953. The facility was then completely rebuilt in 2005 using prefabricated log construction methods.

This shelter represents a vital component of Canadian mountain infrastructure, enabling outdoor enthusiasts to explore remote alpine regions safely.

Access requires a multi-hour hike from Marble Canyon parking lot, and visitors need to bring appropriate mountaineering gear and be well prepared. Check weather conditions and alpine terrain requirements before visiting to allow sufficient time for the journey.

The location provides access to multiple climbing routes and serves as a base for mountaineers exploring the surrounding peaks throughout the year.
