  • Good shelter with a rudimentary toilet facility. The spring is barely anything and not very reliable. If someone else hadn't found it, I would have walked right over it and thought it was a wet, muddy puddle. Water was barely trickling out of a piece of PVC pipe that was put near the "spring" to help fill bottles, but honestly, it would take 5 minutes or more to get a 1L bottle filled. It would work if you were desperate, but that about it. Decent area around the shelter for tents and there is a bear cable hang for your food here, but we didn't stay here on our trip. There was a warning for bear activity at this shelter when we walked through.
