I am planning a hike from Bears Den (snickers gap) south to the SNP where the trail crosses over Skyline Dr. this memorial Day weekend. I would like to get any updated info on the shelters along the way. There are 2 of us and we prefer to tent near the shelters. We are looking at evenings at :
Rod Hollow (9.9mi), Manassas Gap (12.9mi), Tom Floyd (13.6mi), then ending at the Skyline drive crossing (mile marker unknown).
1) Any updates on these shelters as they relate to tenting?
2) Being our third hike on the AT, moderate physical shape, do this distances should fair. NOTE - I am also just recovering from a sprained ankle and will be wearing a sports brace.
3) How long will be be in the "roller coaster"
I have read this forum for over a year and this is my first post. Thank you all SO much.
