Guyot Shelter

Loved my overnight stay here. The staff are knowledgeable, helpful and professional. I included a picture and video of the spring, which I was told is almost always flowing. At the time of writing this, the region has been in a drought and it still had a trickle to save all our lives on this incredible adventure 😊

Such a beautiful and pristine shelter! According to some other backpackers it's one of the best they've seen (probably because it was newly built in 2019). It has a gorgeous view of the mountains. It stayed warmer than the outside with no wind- and it was super nice to take a break from setting up and taking down our tent during our Pemi Loop hike. And then we could see the sunrise from our sleeping bags in the morning!

Great for sunrise. Friday night in late summer season, only one other person staying in the shelter. Pit toilet available for use with solid waste only. There is a spring, but you should still filter this water, as suggested by the caretaker. A site or spot is $10 per person per night. This shelter is a decent trek off trail (0.2 miles only, but quite downhill on stone steps), so consider this when planning. There are two large provided bear boxes for use with everyone in the site. These are in a kitchen/cooking area, where they ask that you cook to keep the debris and scents in one area.

A very cool shelter! The site itself is nestled on the backside of the Bonds ridgline between Mt. Guyot and Mt. Bond. A steep, rugged 0.2 miles down the ridge off the bondcliff trail will take you past a few tent platforms to the main shelter. If memory serves, there are roughly 10 tent platforms in the campsite. There is also overflow tent sites located along the bondcliff trail between the turnoff for the camp. The shelter itself has two sleeping platforms and can accomodate roughly 14. There is also a small front porch with suprisingly nice views of the valley! The night we stayed in camp it was PACKED. When we arrived at 3:45 we snagged one of the last tent platforms and by the evening all were taken and the shelter was full. Due to all the people in camp it was rather noisy. This is t

Not easy to get to the Guyot tent sites are wonderful. There is a welcome spring that was running and a lean to if space is available. There are plenty of tent sites even along the trail for a nights rest.
