There have been a lot of landslides in this area, which is just below a landfill area run by the DPW. Inherently, there are a lot of exposed seeps and slabs of concrete. Very interesting when leaves are down.

Namesake shelter ruins from what was very short term, a camp for a homeless man.
You can see the tree canopy opening letting light in to fuel the invasive Japanese knotweed taking over all the undergrowth in this photo.

Some kind of windwall or barricade is next to the trail, coincidentally marking a transition from flowy to technical.
There is a short-very interesting section that is clearly entirely landfill from past construction projects, reminiscent of the yellow brick road.
Adjacent to the landfill/slide zone is a steep-sided dip and a pile of metal waste.
Quick uphill after the wooden drop intersection, before descending the rest of the way down Iron Gate.
This is looking downhill from the mockup shelter, possibly a food preparation area.
