I’m planning on
posting some videos showing shelters and more importantly (to me) the springs.
I visited the Pass
Mountain Hut in the Northern end of Shenandoah National Park in Virginia this
past weekend as part of a planning trip for a longer section hike. This
shelter is located 1.7 miles north of the Thornton Gap parking lot on the Blue
Ridge Parkway where US 211 crosses. There is a restroom and water at the
parking lot. The Pass Mountain Hut is a
fairly standard 3 sided structure with an internal mezzanine and can sleep
approximately 10. There are two privies at this location, a pole to hang food
bags from, AND a very cool (and large) bear locker to place food in. The spring
was still running nicely with cold clear water despite recent drought
conditions. There are also tent sites nearby.
A free permit is
required to overnight in the park. More
