This trail was pretty much as expected based on the trail guide. There were two of us and three dogs. Although the hike wasn't very long, we decided to camp at an existing site at around 2.7 miles (just before the foot bridge). The site was nice and the first day was humid enough that the small swimming hole by the bridge came in handy. It rained during the night and most of the next day. Despite the rain, it was still a beautiful weekend. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a nice relaxing hike, as there were no real steep grades, and the trail was well maintained. Perfect for a day hike or overnight trip.
Let me start by says that this is a great guide. I hiked in with a friend and my dog from the start (Rt. 60) to around the 3.5 miles. We camped for the night then hiked back out to Rt. 60. The trail was well maintained and easy to follow and the two foot bridges were well built and fit into the surroundings.
The shelter was easy to find, Pandora UK Jewellery the AT passes right beside it before the crossing the first footbridge. There are two great campsites across from the shelter and one more about half a mile past the shelter. Other then the three mentioned we did not find additional campsites.
I look forward to hiking this section of the trail again; I have yet to explore the various ruins that we passed, the 200-yard stone floodwall being the easiest to spot.
We did hear Coyote's yapping loudly around midnight; they were quite close to our campsite, which drove my dog (Pitbull) to growl for about half an hour.
The only discrepancy that I have with the guide relates to the terrain chart on page 228. From the starting point on Rt. 60 the trail begins its decent at around .3 miles and begins to level See More off at the creek crossing (no bridge, but easy to cross the rocks) around the 1-mile mark. The trail is nearly flat from the first creek crossing to the shelter at 1.8 miles.
