Tour Suggestions - Whistler Area

The hut in question is Himmelsbach Hut, on the N shore of Russet Lake. Fissile Peak is just SE from the hut. No reservations needed, it is a pretty basic small shelter (no heat, bring your own stove and winter sleeping bag). It sleeps 4 comfortable although it is known to sleep 12.

There is a backcountry pass available but it a lot of hassle. See this thread:

The Baldwin map is essential!

It looks like a major dump is heading for Whistler. Have fun exploring!
