Boiling Springs Parking – Alex Kennedy Shelter – Rock Maze – Appalachian Trail Pennsylvania

This was a quick but long “in and out” from Boiling Springs Furnace parking lot to the Alex Kennedy Shelter, through the Rock Maze, and then to stay the night at the James Fry Shelter. I parked at the Boiling Springs Iron Furnace lot for this hike. To do this, you must get an overnight pass from the ATC Mid-Atlantic Regional Office around the corner. The farm fields can be a bit muddy…thankfully I was dry by the evening. The Alex Kennedy Shelter is super nice and has one of the nicest privies I’ve seen so far on the trail! 

Happened to meet up with “Sweeps” at the James Fry Shelter for the evening, which was super cool. We’ve been crossing virtual section hike paths with our YouTube videos for a few months now. It’s about time we ran into each other.
