This Appalachian Trail shelter can fit about 8 people. The shelter faces east and looks through a bit of a clearing. Sunrises are fantastic from the shelter, and there is a partial view of Mount Snow and Somerset Reservoir. An unreliable spring is located on the side trail to the shelter, but a more reliable spring is located near the tenting site to the north. A pit privy is located near the shelter.

Not much tenting for a site that has NOBO, SOBO, and Long Trail hikers using it, and then throw in section hikers, good luck finding a tent site!
