HI - Mt. Edith Cavell Wilderness Hostel

For a wilderness hostel it is very good. Showers would be nice but it's understandable why there aren't any. You get free access to the mount Edith Cavell road by being a hostel guest which is a great perk. On the downside the entry gate is closed and locked from 2000-0800 hours so you're pretty much trapped there while they're upgrading the parking lot for the park.

Es un lugar muy acogedor en plena naturaleza y respetuoso con el medio ambiente. Se debería informar en la reserva, de la existencia de una valla al comienzo de la carretera que cierra a las 8 de la tarde, para poder organizarse bien.

James did not know that we needed to drive our car to the corral across the street to deliver supplies to Tonquin Valley. He strongly discouraged us from driving where we needed. Would be good to be informed. Said he was in a hurry to get out and could we hurry and get out. That did not feel so friendly. And also that since there were only two of us we couldn't have a fire in the bunkhouse. Many more people came that night. Still no fire. It snowed that night, so it was cold! Ernie was great.

The outhouses really need to be updated. The wood was well dried so building the fires was easy. The other hostelers were respectful and friendly The view couldn't be beat. Overall a good first experience of a wilderness hostel.
