About Robbs Hut

Robbs Hut offers a peaceful, rustic getaway with phenomenal views of the Sierra Nevada. The cozy, yet minimalistic cabin is open year-round and can be accessed by car in warmer months. From November to mid-June, guests can expect to hike, snowshoe or ski up a 3-mile trail with a 1,000-foot elevation gain to reach the hut. This trail runs along Robbs Road from Ice House Road. Originally a sleeping quarters for rangers of the adjacent Forest Service lookout from 1934 to 1978, the hut makes an ideal recreation spot with mountain biking and off-road vehicle trails nearby. The lookout is open to the public for day use.

Robbs Hut is amazing. There are plenty of supplies for cooking and eating so you don't need to bring much. The beds are starting to crack a little, so just be aware of that and the new solar lights are awesome. Not as bright as the old propane lights, but so much safer.

The view is breathtaking. But during a snowstorm, it can be literally breathtaking

Visited this place in December. Always check the weather Before you go. Bring food to cook it does have a kitchen. Bring water if you don’t want to boil the snow. That’s pretty much it. And fun enjoy it.
