Mt. Spokane – Trekking to the Nova Hut

The Nova Hut is a warming station in Mt. Spokane State Park. It is nestled in the saddle between Quartz Mountain and the peak the park is named for. Offering refuge to cross-country skiers is its main purpose, but the little structure also provides shady respite on a hot summer day.
