Path: The trail to Cabin 16 (18), travels over some very hilly terrain, making it a truly unpleasant effort if pulling a large cart of equipment.
Backpacking is always encouraged at Nobscot!

Directions: To get to Cabin 16 (18), take Monsen Trail almost to the end. Shortly before the end of Monsen Trail, you will see a path on the left through the woods to the cabin. Alternatively, you can continue on Monsen Trail to the end and take a left on White Ridge Trail. Cabin is on left, just before the extremely step section of trail.

If you pull a garden cart up to this site (and you should not), please return it quickly to the shed for others to use – and pack more sensibly next time.
