Silcox Hut

The Silcox Hut is a small rustic mid-mountain lodge located at 6,950 feet (2,120 m) elevation on Mount Hood, Oregon, United States.

The students of the Program made a few improvements to the hut including repairs to the fireplace hearth and new window shutters.

Even though the Program enjoyed access to the mountain provided by Silcox Hut, they could not counter the seemingly constant vandalism and had to relinquish the lease.

The initial restoration proposal was made by climbing enthusiasts and guides, and it was their intention to operate the facility.

The Friends of Silcox Hut carries on as a non-profit maintenance and special projects group to protect the integrity of the restoration.
