FISHHOOK HUT
Fishhook Hut sits at 6,800 feet elevation next to a meandering
creek in a beautiful meadow deep in the Sawtooth Mountains.
The
Sawtooth
giants
rise above the meadows, with spectacular views of Thompson
Peak (the highest in the Sawtooth), Williams Peak, Mount
Heyburn, and Horstman Peak framing the cold and blue Rocky
mountain skies.
Fishhook Hut consists
of two separate structures: a Mongolian–style Yurt
and a pioneer style wall tent connected together by a lodge
pole pine framed walkway.
All
of the amenities for a comfortable stay are stocked at
Fishhook: two wood stoves for heat, lanterns for light, bunks
with
mattresses, a three burner propane stove for cooking,
all pots, pans and other cooking equipment, all tableware
and utensils, a Dutch-oven (bring your own charcoal), books,
board games, playing cards, magazines, two covered outhouses.
Moreover, a wood fired HOT TUB makes this
hut extra special!

Approach to
Fishhook Hut
|
Guests need to bring only a sleeping
bag, personal clothes and food.
Fishhook sleeps 8 in the Yurt and 6 in the wall tent.
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.
For advanced skiers and boarders, there
is also fantastic downhill potential on the big Sawtooth
peaks
above the valley.
