About
Sunrise Shelter is a primitive backcountry shelter situated along the Long Trail and North Country Trail in Vermont's Green Mountain National Forest, within the Middlebury/Rochester Ranger District. The shelter features classic three-sided Adirondack-style construction designed to provide basic protection from the elements for through-hikers and backpackers traversing the ridgeline of the Green Mountains. The shelter operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no fees and no reservations accepted. Overnight stays are limited to two consecutive nights. A privy is located nearby, and water is available from natural sources in the area but must be filtered or treated before consumption. Hikers should always carry a tent as backup, since shelters typically fill up during peak hiking season. This is a backcountry hiking shelter intended for Long Trail travelers, not a drive-up campground. Access requires hiking in on the trail. The shelter provides minimal amenities and is best suited for experienced backpackers who are self-sufficient and practice Leave No Trace principles.
Directions
Sunrise Shelter is located near Brandon Gap in the Green Mountain National Forest. Access is typically via hiking trails in the area.
