Английская Википедия:Horse Camp
Шаблон:For Horse Camp is a property on Mount Shasta owned by the nonprofit Sierra Club Foundation. It is a Шаблон:Convert enclave within the Mount Shasta Wilderness of the Shasta-Trinity National Forest in California, United States. It is located at approximately Шаблон:Convert elevation at the lower end of Avalanche Gulch, the most popular climbing route on the mountain.
Horse Camp is accessible from the Bunny Flat trailhead by hiking approximately Шаблон:Convert on a developed trail with an elevation gain of about Шаблон:Convert.
The most notable feature of Horse Camp is the Shasta Alpine Lodge, a climber's hut constructed in 1923. Mostly indigenous materials were used for construction, including volcanic rock and Shasta red fir. The lodge can be used for emergency shelter for climbers. It contains a guest register, a library of mountain books, and displays about Mount Shasta.
Other features of Horse Camp include a freshwater spring, low impact campsites, and a solar-powered composting toilet facility.[1]
The lodge measures about Шаблон:Convert, and was financed primarily by a donor named Hall McAllister at a cost of $6,725. A caretaker is on duty during the summer months. The first caretaker (1923–1934) was Joseph Macatee "Mac" Olberman (1862–1946). With the help of volunteers, Olberman built a 950 yard long flagstone paved path leading uphill from Horse Camp to facilitate access to the Avalanche Gulch climbing route.[2] This structure still exists and is known as Olberman's Causeway.
The camp and the lodge are open year-round, even when no caretaker is on duty.[3]
Horse Camp is utilized as a mountaineering base camp for ascents of Mount Shasta by Avalanche Gulch, Casaval Ridge, the West Face Gully and other routes on the south and west side of the mountain.[4]
