ACC Hut Ambassador Program

With the ACC’s growing network of backcountry huts, it can be quite difficult to have a consistent set of eyes and ears on the ground.

While we do have our own set of rules that are sent out during hut reservations, put on the walls and in literature, we’re sure there are a few informal ones that can only be learned through enough hut trips.
