This shelter is open for business - awesome setup and still has that new shelter smell :)

Oops, wrong shelter. We stopped at the cold spring shelter for lunch; it looked like it had a new floor and plenty of firewood. There is a good water source a few feet from the shelter.

I think this is the one I stayed in Last January & it had a Huge 3X3 hole in the floor? Is that the one??

The Cold Springs Shelter is slightly north of Burningtown Gap (between Wayah Bald and Wesser Bald). It was literally located right on the trail and I believe it was one of the oldest shelters. When I saw it last year, it was in dire need of rennovation. Going thru that area in late May and just wanted any info on it's status. Thanks. :)

Its been fixed up a little, floor is fixed, cement chinking replaced between the logs, new roof. Quaint and cozy older shelter. there is a mouse there, and a nearby snake.

I stayed there last Thursday. Snake was by the privy (according to others in the shelter, I didn't personally see it, but saw 2 other snakes on the trail that week, so it seemed legit), mouse was in the front right corner near the roof, saw it multiple times.
