Årestua Hut

Årestua Hut, also called the Guinn Mountain Hut, is a 1969 Norwegian-style cabin at 11,000 feet on the north side of Guinn Mountain, a smaller and more remote relative of the Brainard Lake Cabin. It sleeps seven, has views across the Front Range and the high plains, and is reached only on foot, ski or snowshoe by one of two routes, each roughly four miles with 2,000 feet of gain.

Please visit the Årestua Hut webpage for the latest information on accessing the hut and making reservations. For any questions, please email arestuahut@cmcboulder.org.
