I read mention somewhere about it being law in certain areas/shelters to use a bear canister. Can anyone tell me if this is true, and if it is which shelters/areas specifically or where I might be able to go to find out?

They are now required from Jarrard Gap to Neels Gap. From March 1st until June 1st. You can go to www.fs.usda.gov to read more about it.

Thank you very much! I don't like breaking laws.
Just don't camp in that section and you don't need the bear canister. It's a short enough section that it's easily hiked in a single day.
Don't take anything I say seriously... I certainly don't.
It's only a 5 mile section and only required if you camp there. Just hike on to Neel's Gap.

funny thing, I heard from the ridgerunner that trash is way down in the area between Jarrad Gap and Neel Gap... because so few people are camping there and leaving junk... hmmm
