Bivouac Hut, Mount Eisenhower. As a Centennial project, the Calgary Mountain Club helilifted a prefabricated bivouac hut on to the “goat plateau” of Mount Eisenhower (Castle Mountain). It was flown up on the evening of July 1 and almost completed the next day. This hut is identical to the Graham Cooper Memorial Hut above Moraine Lake: 10' x 8' x 8' insulated wood, covered with corrugated aluminum. It accommodates four in comfort, eight at a pinch. There are mattresses and Coleman stove, no blankets at present. Like the Cooper Hut it is the property of the people of Canada, and open to everyone. The best approach is from the Fire Lookout, leaving the 1A Highway three miles west of Eisenhower Junction. From the hut, less than half an hour takes one to the popular Brewer Buttress, and a few minutes more to the normal southern routes on the Tower. There is also scope for new routes on the southwest face of the mountain, left of the Brewer.
