Conrad Kain hut
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Conrad Kain hut is an alpine hut located in Bugaboo Provincial Park in British Columbia. The hut is maintained by the Alpine Club of Canada. Coordinates: NAD27 11U 516700 5620754
The hut was erected in 1972 and named after the renowned alpinist Conrad Kain who first visited the area in 1910. It was maintained by BC Parks until 2000, when responsibility was handed over to the Alpine Club.
The hut can be reached via a 3.5km hike from the parking area (with 700m of elevation gain). The parking area is reached via a 45km logging road from Brisco, North of Radium Hot Springs on Highway 95. Some who leave their car here attempt to protect their tires with fences, from the predatory habits of the local porcupines. The hut is out of range of all cellular service.
The hut sleeps about 40 comfortably. It is equipped with propane powered lamps and stovetop, along with hydro-electric power for electric lights, stovetop, heating and even hot water.
