The “Tea House” was built as a hiker’s guest house in the early 1900s. It still offers overnight lodging for hikers on multi-day trips. We were just out for the day but had to check it out. We relaxed in a cozy rustic log cabin, sipped coffee, and sampled home made sweets. It is a wonderfully relaxing place with a fantastic view of the towering twin falls that are just beyond the front door. Some rumbles of thunder kept us from dawdling too long though. We still got a little wet but not enough to dampen the day. Once again, we are tired but content.

$250.00 a night but “the outhouse and outdoor shower have
spectacular views”

That’s what a night at the tea House would cost you and it’s
a 2 night minimum too!   That does include meals but you still have to
hike in, with your stuff, about 2 ½ hours.
The hike does come with some wonderful views; lots of glacier fed
waterfalls, majestic mountains, and unbelievable examples of the power of
Mother Nature in the form of avalanche chutes and rock slides.  No bears today though!
