How to get there?

https://huts.ubc-voc.com/Phelix/

How to get there
Blackwater Creek FSR is ploughed in winter up to the start of Phelix Creek FSR near km 13 (2WD accessible with low clearance). This is the winter parking lot. In summer (outside of provincial wildlife closure, read more below), drive 4.4 km up Phelix Creek FSR to the barricades at the second bridge and park (2WD accessible with moderate clearance; keep left at the fork before the bridge). Walk up the road through a few cutblocks until the road becomes a trail and climbs through mature forest to Long Lake. If the lake is not frozen, walk around the north side to the hut. The total distance is 5.5 km and 600 m elevation gain (9.9 km and 1090 m in winter). In winter and especially in spring, there is overhead hazard along Phelix Creek FSR from large avalanche paths.

Conditions reports on 5 July 2025

FSR at Phelix  Marta Llovet   
It took as 3:45 hrs from the bottom of the FSR to the hut. Unfortunatelly we were not able to drive in the FSR with a 2wd medium clearance. I would recommend having an AWD or 4WD to drive up that road due to it gets dry/loose and it is hard to keep traction if you do not have a 4WD.
The trail was well marked and had no issues.
We did not end up staying at the hut even though we were really impressed by how beautiful and well maintained is the hut. We carried our tents and camped outside, we only used the hut to keep the food safe from wildlife.
There were more people camping in tents and if possible it would be great to have food safe storage outside the hut.
Just to note for the next hikers is that the bugs were pretty bad so just to be aware.
Thank you so much for all your work/volunteer
We did not use firewood so unsure about how full it was.
