      It looked to have been used a lot over time, judging by all the carved initials in the rafters. It could sleep about 12 people. There were also cable-lines to secure your food items high in the air, away from bears. And, there was a natural spring for water, though boiling was still recommended.

    Cool black and white, Phil. Looks intriguing and mysterious. Maybe shelter from a storm.

      Good morning, beautiful. Well-constructed, it was located at the peak of the mountain, which meant that, despite hiking uphill over three miles, the trail then continued along a downward trajectory…the thought of giving back strenuous gains in altitude didn’t sit well with me at the time, so I sat in the shelter a spell to ponder. Hahaha

        Good morning. It is a beautiful morning. ๐Ÿ˜ Sounds like an adventure! Pondering at the top of a mountain is a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. ๐ŸŒ„ Enjoy!

    Imagine the history and stories that shelter could tell!

      Yes, indeed. I’m not sure as to the date of construction, but it’s old and I suspect many, many people have taken refuge inside.
