Back in the '80s, members of the 10th Mountain Division of the U.S.
Little-known fact: Colorado is home to more huts and yurts than any other state in the U.S. And that's not by accident. Back in the '80s, members of the 10th Mountain Division of the U.S. Army decided to recreate the huts they'd encountered while on duty in the Alps. And so the 10th Mountain Division Hut System was born.
