Description
This is a challenging but very rewarding hike. We start by descending to the floor of the Beaver Valley, enjoying forests and streams along the way. Then comes the steep climb back up, where we are rewarded with spectacular views to the east across the valley and to Blue Mountain. We'll stop for lunch at the gazebo beside Webwood Falls. The last leg of the hike is the very pretty Fairmount trail which offers sweeping panoramic views of the Beaver Valley. Please bring a lunch and lots of water.
