    "Nice shelter opening to the east with a partial view of the Connecticut River valley. My hiking partner loved the privy."

    "Thistle Hill is newly constructed and features a reliable water source in all seasons. There are several tent sites at this location, as well, and it is sited amongst beautiful rolling Vermont hills."
