Abbot's Hut 2

Thank you, Ron!

I thought I heard echoes. :) Thank you, Sharon!

came back to oooh and aaah over this beautiful setting at the top of the world...

Thanks a lot, Kay!

Thanks, Tim! It is now the second highest building in Canada. A nearby hut in the Valley of the Ten Peaks is a little higher. Swiss guides carried most of the material up from Lake Louise in 1922. Here is a link with interesting details: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbot_Pass_hut

WOW!! Outstanding capture, Steve. I find it ironic that an outhouse is given such a distinction. Do you know if the material for the construction of this building (Abbot's Hut, not the outhouse) was mostly found around the area or whether they had to carry it in. This is amazing. f/v

Thanks, John! We stayed overnight in the hut, which sleeps 22. We climbed up from the BC side, a very steep scree slope to the left of the hut.

Thank you, Nabucodonosor!

Love the atmosphere! v/f
