- History / Biographical
- The Sydney Vallance (Fryatt) Hut is located in Fryatt Valley of Jasper National Park. According to the Alpine Club of Canada's website and their Fryatt Hut Info Sheet: "The idea for this hut was born in 1968 when the Vallance family made [a] donation to the Alpine Club of Canada for a backcountry hut. Fryatt Valley was quickly chosen, the location of the Club’s General Mountaineering Camp eight years earlier, and a site with excellent mountaineering but a very long approach. The hut was constructed in 1970 and turned over to Jasper National Park for operation. The hut was initially abused, to the extent that Parks eventually removed the interior facilities. In 1991 this hut, along with Mt. Colin and the Mt. Alberta (Lloyd MacKay) Huts, was turned over to the ACC to operate. The Club has upgraded the outhouse from pit to fly-out barrel system and installed an efficient coal-burning stove to replace one which was removed in 1991. The hut is named for Sydney R. Vallance, Q.C., ACC president from 1947 to 1950, who died in 1979."

- History / Biographical
- According to the Alpine Club of Canada's website: "The Rob Ritchie Hut, also known as the Balfour Hut, is found on low, rocky hills at the toe of the Vulture Glacier, approximately 28 km northwest of the town of Lake Louise, AB. It is east of Balfour Pass and the Continental divide, just inside the Banff National Park boundary.[...] The Rob Ritchie Hut, also known as the Balfour Hut, is found on low, rocky hills at the toe of the Vulture Glacier, approximately 28 km northwest of the town of Lake Louise, AB. It is east of Balfour Pass and the Continental divide, just inside the Banff National Park boundary. This is the half-way mark for the Wapta Traverse and is usually used in conjunction with the other huts in this chain while attempting this classic cross-glacier ski trip. Usual approach is from Bow Hut through the Olive/St. Nicholas Col then down the gentle and pleasant Vulture Glacier to Balfour Pass, where the hut sits on a section of moraine beneath the impressive bulk of Mt. Balfour. Though most people will spend one night at the R.J. Ritchie (Balfour) Hut before continuing on to Scott Duncan, there is potential for good skiing here, especially on the Diableret Glacier which sits northwest of Mt. Balfour and makes for a fantastic run on a clear day! There is also an optional route to the summit of Mt. Gordon from this hut, which would be an excellent loop trip if combined with the normal route back towards Bow Hut. Use your imagination and some neat trip ideas will present themselves!"
