The program requirements were pretty grand: 30 feet or longer, two lofts, a bedroom, a murphy bed, full size appliances, a full size tub/shower, stairs, A/C, LOTS of storage, an electic mix of gingerbread traditional, and rustic modern.” – Rocky Mountain Tiny Houses

The John Muir hut was built by the Sierra Club in 1930. The stones come from the surrounding area but the mortar and other materials had to be packed in 9 miles. It provides temporary shelter for hikers crossing the Muir Pass. The harsh conditions and decades of usefulness illustrate the strength of stone construction.
