The section has pretty mellow hiking with a lot of ridge walking. Last year I did Caledonia SP to Swatara Gap the first week in June and was happy with all the shelters along the way. Quarry Gap shelter is probably the nicest shelter I've stayed at anywhere on the trail. There was ample water when I did this the first week in June but as you get later in the summer you might want to look for more info on water. If you're interested in spending a night in town the Allenbury in Boiling Springs offers a hiker special.
