The Indian Bar Trail Shelter is one of the two Civilian Conservation Corps constructed stone masonry trail shelters in the park. It is located along the Wonderland Trail on the east side of the park, south of Summerland and north of Box Canyon.
The Civilian Conservation Corps built this shelter at Indian Bar in 1940. It was constructed from plans drawn up by the NPS Branch of Plans and Design in San Francisco, under the supervision of Associate Structural Engineer Edwin A. Nickel.
It was one of the numerous trail shelters constructed along the Wonderland Trail, a policy that began under Superintendent Roger W. Toll (1919-20) and expanded during the superintendency of Major O.A. Tomlinson (1923-1941).
