I think there may be a directional discrepancy here.  If the  
recommended crossing is north of the trail for a northbound hiker it  
will still be north of the trail for a southbound hiker.

So "go right, north from the trail as it heads west" for a NOBO will  
take you to the same crossing as "left or NORTH from the trail" for a  
SOBO.
Unless you are recommending different crossing points for NOBO and SOBO
