    Tips

    This is one of the fancier and more contemporary Appalachian Trail shelters, making it a popular layover for hikers. The enclosed loft offers above-average protection from the elements, and a privy is also available at the site. There's a reliable spring approximately half a mile downhill from the shelter, but an intermittent seep may be found much closer to the shelter, depending on the season.
