Occupying a special place in adventure lore, mountain huts have been offering a roof over travelers' heads since the dawn of exploration. If you can reach them, they provide a thrilling and wild escape from civilization down below -- a place to marvel at starry night skies and then wake up to breathtaking panoramas.
Their isolation offers added reassurance at a time when avoiding crowds is favored option. Here are some of the most impressive ones to inspire your next expedition for when the time is right to conquer mountains again. Desolation Peak Lookout, Washington State (6,102 ft, 1,860 m) There are few better places to escape the world than a solitary house overlooking the gorgeous North Cascade Mountains.
This rugged, spartan landscape inspired "On the Road" writer Jack Kerouac to sojourn here for 63 days during the summer of 1956, resulting in the short story "Alone on a Mountaintop" and book "Desolation Angels."
The windswept hut in question is a historic fire lookout with larger-than-life panoramas. It's one of the best spots to marvel at the twin peaks of Hozomeen Mountain as well as a perfect place for existential soul searching.
It can be reached via the Desolation Peak Trail. Check the National Park Service website for detailed instructions.

山区小屋在探险传说中占有特殊的地位,自探索之初就为旅行者提供了屋顶。如果你能到达它们,它们将为你提供一个逃离文明的刺激和狂野的地方--一个让你惊叹于星空的地方,然后在令人惊叹的全景中醒来。
在避开人群的时候,它们的孤立性提供了额外的保证。这里有一些最令人印象深刻的地方,可以激发你的下一次探险,以便在时机成熟时再次征服山峰。华盛顿州荒凉峰观景台(6,102英尺,1,860米)没有什么地方比俯瞰华丽的北喀斯喀特山脉的独栋别墅更适合逃离世界。
这片崎岖、贫瘠的土地激发了《在路上》的作者杰克-凯鲁亚克在1956年夏天在这里居住了63天,写下了短篇小说《独自在山顶》和《荒凉的天使》一书。
这座被风吹动的小屋是一个历史悠久的防火瞭望台,拥有比生命更重要的全景图。它是欣赏胡索明山双峰的最佳地点之一,也是寻找存在感的完美场所。
可以通过荒凉峰小径到达。请查看国家公园管理局网站,了解详细说明。
