Betty Bear Hut
Betty Bear Hut is a high mountain refuge at an elevation of 3.383m (11,099ft), located in Pitkin County, in central Colorado, United States.
Located on the western slope of the Continental Divide, and surrounded by thick forests and snowy peaks, this very steep infamous gravel road to the hut is rough with several hairpin turns. It’s called Forest Road 527. Make sure you get your vehicle and yourself well-prepared before driving this road. 4wd vehicle required. The route is snow free from June to October. Always be prepared for winter weather, even in summer.
