Great food is one of the best parts of any camping trip in the mountains. Our huts are fully equipped with all the gear you need to make unforgettable meals. Below are some of our favorites:

Throw in bell pepper, onion, garlic. Sauté till onion is clear.Throw the chicken back in. Add everything else and bring to simmer.Cook uncovered till the water cooks down below the pot contents, put on the lid and simmer about 30 minutes.Do not the lift lid during the last 30 minutes. Serve.NOTE: Camp tip: you can prep the vegetables at home and place them in a plastic bag in the cooler. Don’t use a freezer bag though – use a food storage bag. The freezer bags let the onion and garlic smell out into your cooler! |
