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."
