The John Muir Way now begins here, and, in that connection, an artwork and a seat were installed beside the building, as shown in Image (compare Image, taken before the creation of the John Muir Way). As is clear from those pictures, the building stands beside a pedestrian crossing (see also the far left of the present photograph). The mural shows "John Muir's cabin home on the edge of Muir Glacier"; it has an inset (or, rather, taped-on) map showing the course of the John Muir Way, a 134-mile (215-km) route that starts right here. The same panel also provides some information about an artwork that stands beside this pumping station: Image The path that can be seen crossing the grass just to the right of the pumping station leads to that artwork. Image can be seen on the left.
