  This place is magnificent!(Early August). The shelter is nestled beautifully on a mountain top. I went for a day hike, the terrain is pretty rough and you have to use your hands to climb a few places. On the way I had recognized a kaleidoscope of edible mushrooms, picked sweet wild blackberries and blueberries to snack on the way. There is a perfect place for a hammock on the side of the shelter, once situated you feel like your flying while suspended on edge of the mountain. Like the guides say watch out for snakes, I had crossed narrow paths with a 7 foot long type of rattle snake, with no escape and only one way forward and the sun setting quickly. The snake was rattling its tail, in psycho aggressive mode. I did the only thing i could do, I sang Somewhere Over the Rainbow to it. Voila ! IT WORKED. The snake calmed down and moved straight across the path.. This was an awesome learning experience! I recommend :)
