"typically not accessible from the highway system" is fine for me if you read "highway" to exclude tracks. If you travel by tractor, enduro motorbike or Jeep you might be able to access many wilderness huts also with motorized vehicles. > > Also I think the term fireplace is too restrictive.

We should take care not to exclude those places. The main feature of a wilderness hut is IMHO a dry shelter, i.e. a place where you can stay the night in relative security, protected from the weather and wild animals. cheers, Martin
