trail shelters
Hiker overnight structures
Trail shelters are simple structures along hiking trails where travelers can rest or spend the night.
They typically have a roof and partial walls but remain open on one side, offering protection from weather without the weight of carrying a tent.
The Appalachian Trail's system of shelters is the most famous example.
Also called lean-tos or huts depending on the region.
