Continuing on along the pathway, it will soon deliver you to a set of abandoned cabins where you should take some time and explore the historical site. A number of educational plaques exist to help inform you on what you are seeing. Once you are ready, backtrack your steps towards the trailhead and your waiting vehicle at the Schulman Grove Picnic Area.
