Standing Indian Mtn. Shelter

Visited the shelter today during a day hike to the summit of SI. Same crappy sign at the shelter trail junction. The shelter and area was very clean and in great shape. No bear cables spotted. Water flowing at the creek below the shelter. Shelter register noted that Bear Gryll has been sited dining on the worms found in the privy.

I see there were no food hoist bear cables at this shelter in 2010. Have any been installed since then?

None noted on a day hike I did in mid-October 2015.

The prudent hiker, on a good day, would do well to skip the shelter and keep walking. When you get to what you THINK is the summit of the mountain, there's a side trail to the left that leads to water. There's a side trail to the right that leads, in a few minutes, to the true summit of the mountain. Great views and some great campsites, too. Don't miss it.
