Continue past the intersection with the Falls Ravine Trail and begin Story 2 as you see Hot Dog Dam Dog Park and pass underneath Forbes Avenue. At the fork in the path, bear Left to continue along the Tranquil Trail, and continue until you emerge from the woods near Homewood Cemetery.

As you approach Ben Hur and S. Dunfermiline Streets, turn Right onto the Hawthorn Trail and back into the forest. You’ll come to a large athletic field to your right with benches at either end. Begin Story 4 at the end as you turn Right onto the Kensington Trail, marked by a large wooden sign. Stay on the Kensington trail, pass a sign for the Rosemary trail, and eventually bear Left down the hill onto the Homewood Trail, marked by a sign. Follow the Homewood Trail as it runs into Tranquil Trail and see a small reflecting pool with a bench. Take a seat and begin Story 5. Then continue along the Tranquil trail to where you began your journey.
