Bill Putnam hut

The Bill Putnam Hut stands at the edge of a high mountain meadow in the Adamant Range, offering sleeping space for 20 visitors in dormitory arrangements.

The Alpine Club of Canada constructed this mountain shelter in 1965 under the supervision of William Lowell Putnam III, who later became president of the American Alpine Club.

The hut serves as a meeting point for mountaineers and backcountry skiers who gather to pursue winter sports in the Selkirk Mountains throughout the season.

Access requires a challenging 4-7 hour hike covering 8 kilometers with 1,500 meters elevation gain, or alternatively, visitors can arrange helicopter transportation.

The structure includes an uninsulated vestibule for food storage and sources water from a creek located 100 meters south of the building.
