The Local newsletter is your free, daily guide to life in Colorado. For locals, by locals. Sign up today!
In our November issue, we profiled the quintessential Colorado escape: a backcountry hut trip. Read our guide to eight different huts around the state here. You’ll discover that part of the reason these excursions are so beloved is the beauty and isolation of the locations. Click through for photos from our writers’ adventures. Just try and fight the urge to plan a trip yourself this winter.
