Jim and Molly Denton Shelter Appalachian Trail

"Tucked btwn Rt 66 and the mountains of AT, this 3 mile hike to the shelter is worth it. The trail starts with a mile climb and a mile in the meadows and last mile moderate climb till shelter. This AT shelter is called Hiltons of AT, it's hot shower, outhouse and horseshoe games ..."

"Great shelter with good deck, and nice shower, privy, gazebo with fire pit. Also a few smaller campsite areas around the main shelter if the shelter is being used."

"Terrific place to rest on the Appalachian Trail. Non-potable water available, bathroom and shelter too. About 3 miles in from the main road, off I66."

"Superb setup. Very large well maintained shelter with 2 bunks above main sleeping platform. Shelter has many pegs for hanging packs and solid ladders for accessing the lofted bunks. Strong piped spring a few hundred feet from the shelter is very easy to access and surrounded by stones, not mud. The separate covered cooking pavilion with picnic table and very nice fire pit with built in grill is great for keeping food out of the shelter. Bear hang pole was nicely placed and capable of supporting many food bags. There is all a horseshoe pit and even a spring fed shower at this shelter. The privy was a short walk away and was clean and well stocked. There are numerous spots for either tent or hammock hangs. All around a great shelter area in which I thoroughly enjoyed spending a night."

"Probably one of the best shelters on the trail. It is about five miles from Route 522 and 3 miles from Route 55. There is a nice picnic pavilion with a picnic table and fire pit which is the perfect place to enjoy a good meal. The shelter has plenty of room and fits up to eight people, I believe. There are horseshoe pits and even a spring fed shower! I camped here with my brother and our friend a month or so ago. Even though it was cold as frick, we still had a great night camping here!"
