CLEANING AND DISINFECTING THE HUT
Hut visitors are expected to follow local and state protocols for social distancing and use of face masks, and are expected to clean and disinfect surfaces frequently touched upon arrival, regularly while at the hut, and upon departure. Below is a link to a hut cleaning checklist for hut users. 10th Mountain staff, who typically visit the huts once per week, use this same checklist and the same cleaning and disinfecting products.
