Shelter is an open front three sided stone shelter. Room for five or six. Nice location. Water nearby but there is a horse trail that crosses the stream. Horse manure was very near the stream. Bear tracks were also around the stream. Saw one mouse early in the evening, but no mice problems.

I was there the night three cowboys and a cowgirl was there (July 3). The shelter was dark & dirty. I camped up at the gap and reported the incident with the horses to the CMC and the ATC afterwards.

I stopped here on Aug. 13th but didn't stay. There were 10-12 teenagers staying the night, who had hiked up a short distance from a nearby road. There seemed to be some nice campsites between the shelter and the water area. The water source was decent, but it's about 0.3 mi downhill from the AT. If you only need water, the AT crosses the same creek just south of the gap where the shelter trail meets the AT near the base of Snowbird Mtn.

Stayed here June 2007. Quiet location, nice raised floor. No problems with mice. Water source was great.. didn't see any horse manure. Tons of tentsites around.
