MTTA High Hut - 4.7.2009
The Mount Tahoma Trail Association's High Hut is 9 miles roundtrip, gaining 2400 feet of elevation... from Whittaker's Bunkhouse in Ashford, drive 2.4 miles east on State Route 706... turn right on Kernahan Road and follow the signs for the MTTA sno-park.

Parking at the lower sno-park (2360')... I skied for ~1.5 miles and found the grooming machine at the second sno-park.
|
Nearing the High Hut I looked down on Anderson Lake.

Solar panels on the High Hut (4760') roof... with a big mountain on the other side of the hut.

Inside the High Hut... calling it a hut is kind of a stretch.
