Coordinates
Elevation 1610m
Reservations No

Access Lizzie Creek Cabin Trail
Built 1968
  • Naming the Mountains by George Richardson
  • Cabin sleeps eight comfortably. Two downstairs and six in the loft. There can be a lot of condensation on the un-insulated metal roof if drying cloths or cooking without lids on pots. The water tends to drip in the loft.
  • New shutters have been installed. Please close them when leaving
  • Please shovel the roof in the winter. It takes the weight off the cabin
  • Please leave cut firewood for winter use only and use it sparingly. Consider taking in "presto" logs if you are flying in and have extra space.
  • Cabin has two Coleman stoves and 2 coleman lanterns (liquid fuel). Bring your own fuel and spare mantles for the lantern.
  • Please consider posting you trip plans to "South Coast Touring" and to this site to avoid overcrowding the cabin.
  • There are lots of pots, pans, fry pans, cups, plates and utensils for 10.

The trail was cleared of alder over a six day period with a dozen + volunteers in the spring and summer of 2022 by a BCMC group and a number of volunteers from across the ski touring and hiking community and you should find the trail much easier to ski in the winter and much drier to hike in the summer. A firewood supply was cut that should last a half dozen trips or so this winter. The BC Mountain Foundation has put up money for building a new outhouse late next summer and there are plans for more work on the trail in the spring. Check out the BCMC trip schedule if you would like to help out. If you have enjoyed using the cabin, please consider sending a donation to the BC Mountain Foundation (https://www.bcmountainfoundation.ca/) as your dollars will help to keep huts like these and the trails that serve them in good shape.
