Though we climbed and climbed, there was always a solid path under our feet and we never had to use our hands to hoist ourselves up. The Lodge predates the National Park by a few years. It started out as a tent camp but is now a collection of neat buildings spread out just below the mountain top. We were dispersed in twos and threes in several cabins. Each cabin has beds with clean sheets and blankets, a propane heater, kerosene lamp and a wash bowl.
Hot water is dispensed from a tap outside the dining room.
The dining hall offers coffee and tea throughout the day. The office building is also the social hall with games and books. Part of the introductory talk includes the sunset and sunrise points and times. Dinner and breakfast were very substantial and good. They even offered wine, if ordered in advance.
