OP 16

OP 16 is a 1.7-mile trail in the western section of the system, offering a slightly more difficult ride due to occasional steeper grades, embedded rock layers, and loose rock. It sometimes parallels a ravine and winds through a lush forest floor lined with rhododendron thickets. Several well-marked intersections make navigation straightforward. The trail features gradual switchbacks and can become rutted and slick when wet, but overall maintains a steady, flowing feel through classic Appalachian terrain.
