The Elk Lakes cabin is an alpine hut located between the French and Italian Military Groups in the Canadian Rockies.

It resides near the Continental Divide in Elk Lakes Provincial Park, British Columbia.

The cabin offers easy access and a wide range of hiking, skiing and climbing opportunities.

It occasionally freezes, in which case grey water (strained of food particles) should be dumped within a three-metre radius of the outhouse.

[2] Options for hikers of all abilities and interests are available,[citation needed] including family friendly backcountry hiking.

Mounts Fox, Aosta, Petain, Nivelle and Castelnau can all be summited in a moderate to long day from the cabin.

Mount Joffre is accessible from the Elk Lakes side, although a high camp is recommended for climbers.

It is one of the few Canadian Alpine huts that can be reached on cross country skis by advanced skiers.
