Description

From the John Muir Lookout parking area we will hike the main trail to the Siegerman Side Trail and loop back using the main trail and the Fairmount Side Trail. The side trails are of special interest as they afford great views across the Beaver Valley, meander beside a stream you can wade in, passes by the ruins of an old homestead and through the Webwood Falls Nature Reserve. Bring water, snacks, sunscreen and insect repellent. There is no dropout point. No dogs please. There will be a refreshment/pub stop afterwards.
