Description

Sector 16 traverses beautiful forested terrain, abutting private property. It's up and down, with a downhill trend, and lots of turns, many rooted or with little drops. This trail is pretty far in with no other access (don't screw up), which makes it a nice quiet oasis. It brings you to the remote Shooting Star shelter.

It's the up that's a little tricky, down the rock is easy.

downhill direction. Looking at the map it appears to be a typical straight, boring boundary trail. Not so!
