There is a an intermittent spring on the north side of Slaughter Gap. Just before reaching the summit there is a two room stone hut shown at the left. The hut is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In addition to the hut there are several areas close by for tents. From different locations near the summit there are good views in all directions in the early spring and late fall.
Trees now limit visibility in the summer.
