My upcoming hike has me hitting the Galehead Hut area the day after it closes. I don't know if there are still going to be people there closing the place up or not but was wondering if just setting up in that area is possible or if it's even advisable.
I want to do Franconia to Crawford notches in two days and that's the perfect in the middle spot. I have a hiking partner who will be travelling in the opposite direction so the Garfield Ridge shelter isn't that good of an option.
