Join Docent Naturalists Nick Yatsko, Mary Brunkhorst, and Kate Bauer on this moderately-paced “lollipop route” starting on the Upper Pete Siemens Trail through a mixed woodland habitat. Then follow the Redwood Springs Trail through redwoods and connect back to the Upper Pete Siemens Trail. You'll enjoy a lunch break and finish with a visit to the headwaters of the spring-fed Webb Creek and two old-growth redwoods before completing your circuit back to the parking area.
