Join Docent Naturalists Nick Yatsko, Anouchka Gaillard and Peter Maxwell on this moderately-paced hike following the Upper Peter Siemens Trail along its steep, redwood-shrouded ravine before transitioning to a mixed woodland habitat. You'll follow the shady Redwood Springs Trail which loops back to the Upper Pete Siemens Trail and then down to the headwaters of spring-fed Webb Creek under the cool canopy. Afterwards you’ll visit two old-growth redwoods before completing your journey back to the parking area.
