Gravel Springs Hut and Spring - Appalachian Trail - Shenandoah National Park
Took a quick run down to the Gravel Springs Hut to check it out along with the water source / spring and tent sites in preparation for a longer weekend hike where we'll be passing by, but not staying at, this shelter. The Gravel Springs Hut is an easy 0.2 mile walk down a gentle grade from a great parking at Gravel Springs Gap. It's a little close to the parking and from the looks of the area is heavily used. The spring appeared to be running strong and is a stone boxed type with a sandy bottom. The tent sites are up the hill from the privy and are on the smallish side in a rock field. There are a handful of them of various sizes. No fair making fun of my umbrella!
