About Louise and Richard Guy Hut

This is the ACC’s most modern hut, built with modular, insulated panels and incorporating solar and wind power for the hut’s facilities. Prior to the Guy Hut being built, the east-west crossing of the Bow-Yoho Traverse involved a night of camping on a glacier. The Guy Hut opened in 2016 and made the Bow-Yoho Traverse a safer and more accessible venture. The hut is only open from December to April. The Bow-Yoho traverse involves nights at the Bow, Guy and Stanley Mitchell Huts and requires strong mountaineering, glacier travel, and navigation skills.
