Elizabeth Parker Hut, Yoho National Park
Located near Lake O’Hara in Yoho National Park, this historic backcountry hut is run by the Alpine Club of Canada. It’s named after Elizabeth Parker, who was one of the founders of the Alpine Club of Canada in 1906.
The rustic cabin is available for rentals year round and sleeps 20 in the winter and 24 in the summer. While there are cooking facilities, you must bring your own food and sleeping bags. Head there prepared: in shoulder season, it’s a three- to four-hour hike, ski, or snowshoe from the Lake O’Hara Trailhead; see the Alpine Club of Canada for more information.
