Climate Change Forces Parks Canada to Dismantle, Remove Historic Mountain Hut

Abbot Pass Hut, a stone structure built 100 years ago on the border between Alberta and B.C., provided shelter to alpinists seeking to reach the summits of nearby Mount Victoria and Mount Lefroy. It was managed by the Alpine Club of Canada for over 30 years until it closed to overnight visitors in 2018 because of erosion of the slope underneath.

Now, thawed permafrost and further erosion have left a back corner of the hut hanging over nothing but air, and left Parks Canada with the decision to remove the structure entirely.
