A Note About Hiking Shelters

Shelters are available year-round and require a minimum of two nights.

These are back-country shelters and are not located in the campground; The Walker Knob Shelter is approximately 4 miles from the Greybeard trailhead and the Buck Gap Shelter is approximately 1.5 miles from the Lookout Trailhead. These shelters do not have any amenities such as electricity, running water or plumbed toilets.

Notice: The lower section of the Graybeard trail, Sanctuary trail, Julia Woodward trail, and the Harry Bryan trail are still closed pending bridge and trail repairs. Elizabeth’s Path remains partially closed due to damaged parts of the trail owned by the Town of Montreat.

The upper section of Graybeard Trail and Walker’s Knob is accessible, however, it still remains a less stable area. Please exercise extreme caution when hiking in the area. The trail is accessible via three routes:

Reserving a hiking shelter costs $1 per adult per night.
