EAGLE COUNTY — The Fowler-Hilliard Hut, one of the most popular backcountry huts in the area, has burned down, officials said Wednesday.
An eighth-grade school group was set to head up to the hut Wednesday, and a parent had gone up that morning in advance, said Brian Lloyd, district ranger for the Eagle/Holy Cross Ranger District of the U.S. Forest Service. The parent discovered that the hut had burned down and called authorities, Lloyd said.
The cause of the fire is unknown and is under investigation by the Eagle County Sheriff’s Office and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation.
