    "Nothing special about this shelter. Too little direct sun, so-so spring."

    "Although we did not overnight here I thought it was a very comfy shelter and loved the location at the top of the rise. Quite clean and freshly painted. Plenty of water available. Good stop for a rest in the midst of the Roller Coaster."

    "Stopped for lunch. If you have a choice, continue to Bear's Den. Not that this shelter is so bad, the hostel is just much better."
