The Martin Pass cabin was recently established by the Wells Barkerville Community Forest (WBCF) and is situated on the Wells and Area Trails Society’s (WATS) trail network. In order to book this cabin at least one person in a group must be a current member of WATS. If you are not a member and are interested in booking the cabin please click here to purchase a membership.
The cabin is a joint partnership between the WBCF, WATS, and the Wells Destination School Society (WDSS). We ask for a $10 per person per night donation for use of the cabin. All proceeds will go towards the Wells Destination School Society. The WDSS is an innovative local non-profit organization working towards providing educational opportunities for youth within Wells and the surrounding area. Please donate here.
Located approximately 5km from Wells on groomed trails, the cabin is equiped with a woodstove, three rustic bunks (sleeps six), and an outhouse. At this time there are no kitchen facilities, running water, or electricity. While reletively close to town it is still important that users have at least a basic level of backcountry experience to use the cabin.
Users must:
- Bring your own food, sleeping bags, sleeping pads, camp stove and fuel.
- Leave the cabin in good condition for the next party e.g. kindling split, firewood brought in from outside, snow melting pots emptied, floor swept, trash packed out, etc.
- Not leave anything behind.
- Make certain that the door is latched securely upon departure.
Overnight use requires a reservation, which can be made by selecting dates on the calendar below and submitting a booking request. Once a request is submitted it will be approved by the booking coordinator and confirmation will be sent to the email provided in the submission form. Once booking is approved the cabin is for the user’s exclusive overnight use, however, day use parties must be accommodated for lunch breaks, warm ups etc. Please use the logbook to list the visitors and to mention general conditions of the trail, the ski areas and the facilities.
