    The Hišimy̓awiƛ Alpine Hut, perched at 1,350 meters on the slopes of 5040 Peak, is a modern backcountry shelter operated by the Alpine Club of Canada’s Vancouver Island section. Named by the Ucluelet First Nation, “Hišimy̓awiƛ” means “gather together,” reflecting its welcoming role for hikers, skiers, and mountaineers. The hut features solar power, a high-efficiency wood pellet stove, propane cooktops, and breathtaking views of surrounding peaks and alpine lakes.
