We can draw this figure out by using a '-' for a mile of the trail, and a 'l' for a sign. There will not be a sign at the beginning, but there will be a sign at the end. So let's draw that:

-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l

By counting the amount of 'l's in the figure above, we are then able to determine that there will be 16 signs posted.
