But you don’t have to leave the country for a taste of that experience.
“The U.S. is on the verge of embracing what huts are all about,” says Sam Demas, author of the forthcoming guidebook
Hut to Hut USA: The Complete Guide for Hikers, Bikers, and Skiers, which will be published in October. “There’s a big appetite for hut travel in the U.S., and we’re seeing more communities develop new systems.”

Sperry Chalet is perched high on the side of Edwards Mountain in a glacier basin at 6,500 feet elevation. The chalet is on the west side of the park and is most easily hiked to from Lake McDonald Lodge. In fact, the trailhead is right across the road from the lodge parking lot.
This nearly 7-mile hike gains about 32-hundred feet elevation, so it is a strenuous walk. The payoff, if you have reservations at the chalet, is a comfortable night in the mountains with three meals.
