Blue Mountain Shelter is located to the right of the word "PINHOTI", just east of the trail. Water sources are southbound along the Pinhoti Trail. Southbound, at the bottom of this map, is the large Cave Creek Trailhead parking lot with the Leaf Gate Sculpture. Off the top of the map, the Pinhoti descends to the CCC Road and the ford of Hillabee Creek. |
