Mollies Ridge Shelter is an Appalachian Trail shelter on the border of Tennessee and North Carolina. The shelter is a little less primitive than other back country shelters; there is a solar-powered phone charging station as well as showers. The TVA has kept this shelter in such good condition that it is known as the Fontana Hilton.
