Pace: Brisk: 4 to 5 km/h
Terrain: Strenuous: Hilly with steep climbs and some poor footing.

Description

This is a popular hike due to the spectacular vistas of the Beaver Valley.  However, it includes several long and steep uphills and downhills, so is not for inexperienced hikers.  We begin at the top of the Escarpment and descend into the Beaver Valley, then travel beside a pretty stream along the Siegerman side trail.  We climb back out of the valley and make our way to the very scenic Webwood Falls where we will enjoy a break and snack.  Then we hike back to the cars via the Fairmount side trail which offers gorgeous views of the Beaver Valley.
