| Hike Summary: | Starts out the same way as the East Trail, but branches to the right, before the East Trail intersection. The West Trail follows more of the river than the East Trail. Spring wildflowers, and an old cabin are along this route. The sign for this trail, where it splits from the old farm road, may be down or being replaced, but follow the map, which is not complicated. |
