Spend four days at Colorado's beloved Francie's Cabin in the Crystal Basin on a guided multi-day hut hiking adventure. At 11,264 feet, surrounded by the Ten Mile Range, alpine lakes, and high-country trails, this private hut trip stays with you. Guided hikes each morning, evenings cooking and unwinding at your own cabin, and a sauna to recover. All meals are included on this Breckenridge hut trip, from three dinners to trail lunches. Designed for families with kids 12+ and groups wanting something deeper than a day hike.
Settle into Francie's Cabin at 11,264 feet, surrounded by the Ten Mile Range and a landscape of alpine lakes, wildflowers, and high-country trails. The entire cabin is yours for the stay.
Each morning your guides lead tailored hikes based on your group's energy and ability — from a relaxed walk to Crystal Lakes to a full summit day on Crystal Peak (13,852'). Each afternoon you return to the cabin to cook, eat, and unwind together, with guides on the trail, in the kitchen, and around the table.
A sauna helps you recover after each day in the mountains. All meals are included: three dinners, three breakfasts, and four days of trail lunches and snacks. The cabin is rustic but well outfitted with a full kitchen and cooking equipment.
