LINDLEY HUT

 
The Lindley hut was first constructed in 1953 (it later burned down and was rebuilt) as a memorial to Alfred Lindley, a prominent lawyer and sportsman from Minnesota. Lindley was a principal of the National Ski Association (forerunner of the United States Ski Association), and died in a plane crash in 1950. He was an enthusiastic promoter of alpine ski touring and mountaineering. The hut was fully renovated in 2002.

Hut Elevation:10,480 feet

Layout and capacity: All Braun huts have propane burners for cooking, photovoltaic lighting, mattresses and pillows, eating and cooking utensils, toilet paper, matches, and cleaning supplies. Hut users melt snow for water. Lindley hut is a one-level structure with loft that sleeps a total of 14 (4 doubles, 6 singles). Note: there is a minimum booking number of 8 spaces for reservations at the Lindley. NO DOGS!

Hut Location: Lindley is located at the foot of Star Peak, at the head of the Castle Creek Valley south of the city of Aspen, Colorado. Warning: The Alfred A. Braun Huts and Friends Hut are located in areas of known avalanche terrain with recurring avalanche cycles. Routes are not marked or maintained. [locator map]
