Historic Profile: Mizpah Spring Hut
Built in 1964, making it the newest hut in the system, in response to the steep increase in demand in the 1960s (partly due to the
National Geographic
article written about the huts by Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas).
Shortened the hike from
Zealand Falls
to
Lakes of the Clouds
, making that part of the route easier.
Built with materials brought in by helicopter.
Held 60 guests, five times the original number
Madison
could accommodate.
Designed in a modern style that enabled it to fit in with the natural surroundings.
