Springer Mountain Shelter

[WingedMonkey]

Question... does the Springer Mountain Shelter have a loft for sleeping? It's been 16 years since I've been there and my memory is more than a little fuzzy about the shelter.

Always walked past it full of people, so I had forgotten also.

Then I read on Wikipedia:

The shelter has a raised first floor and a sleeping loft reached by a permanent ladder. Each level of the shelter can comfortably sleep four or five backpackers.

That scares me that even AT shelters are now on Wiki.

Hahaha! Yeah, I didn't even consider checking Wiki, I never would have guessed that info to be on there. Crazy. Thanks for finding that for me!

Yes it does have a loft. You have to get inside shelter to access the ladder.

Planning to hike to this shelter this weekend 7/11/15. Anyone have any idea how crowded the shelter can get this time of year? Since it's way past thru-hiker season and all.

You might share the shelter with a couple of other hikers, but likely no big crowds.
