Sierra Club Lodges and Huts Benson Hut Benson Hut, about 5 miles south of Donner Summit on the Sierra Crest, looks down on Truckee to the east (this view) and the Sacramento Valley to the west. It accommodates about 12 during winter. This hut is equipped with a wood-burning stove, but food, supplies and bedding must be carried in. The hut is used extensively during the winter, and reservations should be made before planning an overnight trip. For reservations at the backcountry huts, click here or contact the Clair Tappaan Lodge. Sources: Text from Sierra Club Resource Guide: Lodges (#711, 3/91) and Dick Simpson.
