The San Juan Hut System’s mission is to provide low-impact, human-powered, lightweight backcountry sports adventure for the independent health-conscious traveler at a practical price.

For over thirty years our specialty has been offering “hut-to-hut” backcountry tours into the most remote and wild regions. From the high mountains near Telluride, Ouray & Durango to the slick rock of Moab, we’ve developed a network of singletrack trails and routes supported by 16 isolated mountain huts. – Across amazing terrain!
If you are an independent and self-reliant outdoors enthusiast, we can plan, facilitate, and support your next wild journey through a variety of truly unique Southwestern terrain.

We empower groups & individuals to travel lightweight, enjoy new landscapes and comfortably retreat to wild places. – An experience of a lifetime! If you are into the outdoors, you have got to get your arse to the San Juan Mountains!
