Fuji Shelter

Fuji Shelter, perched at 5,600 feet, is located off the road on the left. Look for the sign marking your turnoff. It has a sleeping loft, a wood stove, wood picnic table and gravel floor, and a superb view of Diamond Peak. Overnight maximum capacity: 4 people. To access during the winter: From Salt Creek Sno-Park, walk the access road back to Highway 58. Use extreme caution when crossing the highway to gain access to Fuji Creek Road. From there, begin a moderate/steep climb of 1,500 feet over four miles. There are several openings along the way, which offer excellent views of Diamond Peak and the Salt Creek canyon. For the more accomplished skier, an alternative route is to ski up Fuji Mountain Trail from the Waldo Lake Road and take the Fuji Shelter Tie to the shelter.
