Herb Crisler constructed the first shelter known as "Hotcake" Shelter around the late 1930s to replace an earlier hunting shelter at Windy Hollow, a little up slope from the Hotcake site. The shelter received its name from the tin stove that Crisler packed to the new shelter and used for making pancakes. Hotcake Shelter was one of a series of shelters and caches built by Crisler in the Olympics. Crisler's camp at Hotcake was his photographic headquarters for eight years in the late 1930s and the 1940s. A second shelter was built at Hotcake Camp around 1942.
