Ranches & Huts

The American Alpine Club maintains the Grand Teton Climbers' Ranch in Grand Teton National Park. The Ranch provides lodging in rustic cabins, as well as cooking, bath, dishwashing, and equipment storage facilities.

In an effort to provide additional affordable places to stay near major climbing areas, the AAC's Huts Committee has signed agreements with other existing lodging facilities that give a 25 percent discount to AAC members and members of foreign climbing clubs. Proof of membership (i.e. your membership card) must be provided to obtain your discounted rates.

The participating facilities include:
