Thanks Luke for an awesome documentary. Your passion and respect for the Rockies and it’s history is palpable and so appreciated. I did the majority of my hiking in the 80s before the technology we have now and I never recorded anything. I had a the privilege of staying at Abbot hut in August 1987. Went up in a blinding blizzard. I loved seeing you enjoy your meal inside. Wow. It helped me remember. Thank you, Jeff

Very nicely documented adventure. I failed miserably in 2013 abandoning the hike just after two switchbacks on the spur trail to lake Osea that further leads to the iconic hut. Essentially, I was not fit at that time. Later on, I cultivated a habit of walking 10 km/day (in an hour or less) and in 2016, I succeeded in reaching there very comfortably . Planning to go again.

One of my favorite huts to visit. It's been a while but it still looks great! Going to the outhouse at night can be a sketchy proposition if you've had one too many bevies, lol! Was hoping to get on the Ohara bus this past summer with COVID reducing the international tourist load to the parks but they closed it down altogether so fingers crossed this summer they will be back in service again; Otherwise, back to Tofino I guess. lol!

Will have to back and explore more!

My friends and I were supposed to hike into Assiniboine August long this year (so about 3 weeks ago) but due to the BC wild fires we had to look elsewhere. On Thursday we were able to book one night at Abbot Hut for the next day from Friday to Saturday for 4 people due to last minute cancellations! Keep checking and who knows what will open up! It was amazing! There was barelyyyy any snow on the way up when I went though
