Sun Valley Mountain Huts

Fishhook Hut

Winter at Fishhook Hut

Fishhook Hut sits at 6,800' in a beautiful meadow, next to a meandering creek, deep in the Sawtooth Mountains. From the meadow, the Sawtooth Giants rise above; Thompson Peak, Williams Peak, Mount Heyburn, and Horstman Peak which is framed by the kitchen window.
Fishhook Hut consists of two separate structures: a Mongolian–style yurt and a unique wall tent connected together by a lodge pole pine framed walkway. The approach to Fishhook is a gentle four mile tour, either following a meandering creek or along a beautiful ridge-line.Fishhook is an ideal destination for tour oriented skiers or snowshoers, with many opportunities for scenic tours through the meadows and forests of Fishhook Valley safe from avalanche hazards. For advanced skiers and boarders, there is also fantastic downhill and ski mountaineering potential on the big Sawtooth peaks above the valley. Horstman, Thompson and Williams Peaks are right above the Yurt and there are many classic ski mountaineering lines on the steep walls of these peaks and the Fishhook canyon.

HUT RATES

For the 2023 season the minimum rate of $440/night applies for up to eight guests, $55 for each additional person. Additional kids from six to twelve are $25/night. It is required that at least one member of your group be familiar with the route, access and correct hut operations. If this is your first visit to the Fishhook Yurts, we require a Hut Rent Orientation ($380) on Day One of your trip. The Hut Master will lead your group to the hut and orient you to the facilities and how they function before leaving you to pursue your own personal skiing for the remainder of your stay.
