Description

A long gradual but gentle grade climb. This trail boasts some of the best views on the mountain. If you make it up into Empire Wrecking Co. property be sure to stay to the right of the big tree. There is a trail marker on this tree too.

South Side Lower lookout/vista. There is an upper and more impressive vista just above this one. It can be accessed via the White Trail or with a short but steep hike from this lower vista.

Take a left at this Private Property sign to AVOID going onto private property. If you miss this sign you'll see an actual "STOP" sign and if you miss that one you'll ride onto a resident's lawn. There is a steep initial drop with a quick right barely visible in this pic.

One of three bridges on the South Side Trail. If you head further downhill there is a tunnel that will take you to the Exeter Rail Trail. Head across this bridge to remain on the South Side trail, head towards the South side lookout/vista, and catch a great view of the Schuylkill river.

Once you come into the Empire Wrecking Dump (dirt fill) area stay to the right of this tree.
