Bob Smith, 02/21/05User Rating:  "I love this shelter. It was new when I was a kid and first hiking the trail (30 years ago). But it is showing its age a bit. The water source is reliable, in my experience. The views are extraordinary, and there are lots of great places to pitch a tent if the shelter's full (or you don't want to use it). I give it high marks for the views and the feeling of height you get staying at this location. "

JSH, 01/09/05User Rating: "Simple shelter. Got caught in a snow storm here 12/04 - 6" of snow. VERY windy - had to put tent up inside shelter. There was 1/2" of snow IN the shelter the next morning."
