“This trip was far more amazing than I ever could have imagined. The mountains were absolutely amazing and serene, and make you not want to go home. The leaders and exercises really made you think, and it helped a lot to prioritize life, which can be very difficult to do with PTSD. I highly recommend this trip to any veteran who has returned home physically but is still trying to find their way back mentally..” – Eric Dickson, Army, Iraq

Huts for Vets is thrilled to partner with the Ninety-Pound Rucksack podcast for an inspiring evening of storytelling and impact! Learn how the legacy of the 10th Mountain Division helped shape outdoor recreation in America and pioneered the incredible healing power of wilderness therapy for veterans.
All proceeds from this event will support Huts for Vets in providing life-changing wilderness experiences to veterans.
Beautiful mountain scenery and camaraderie with fellow veterans at a 10th Mountain Hut in Aspen, Colorado – all at no expense to the veterans we serve.
Our wilderness-based programs incorporate rigorous hikes through beautiful mountain scenery, camaraderie with fellow veterans at the 10th Mountain Huts of Aspen, Colorado, delicious and nutritious food, and moderated discussions from a notebook of assigned readings.
