Questions

Where are the wilderness huts near Pittsburgh?
The map shows 33 mapped shelters and huts, including lean tos, weather shelters and open wilderness huts.
Are they free to use?
Open wilderness huts and lean tos generally are, on a first come basis. Reservable huts are a separate thing and usually charge.
Can I light a fire?
Points tagged with a fireplace are included here, but regional fire bans override anything a map says. Check local restrictions, particularly in summer.
Where does this shelters and huts data come from?
From OpenStreetMap, a map built by volunteer surveyors and maintained continuously. It is the best available source for small fixtures like this one, because they are the things commercial map providers do not bother collecting.
Something is missing or wrong. Can I fix it?
Yes, and it is the fastest way to get it corrected. Edit the point on openstreetmap.org and the change flows through to this page on the next refresh. There is no separate database here to correct.
Is the list of shelters and huts in Pittsburgh complete?
It is as complete as the local survey effort. Densely mapped cities are close to exhaustive; elsewhere expect gaps. The map is always the fuller view, since the list on this page only names the points that have a name.
