Parks & Nature
Improved trail with gentle grade that takes you up the side of the mountain to Monticello. Good for all walking and hiking, but especially a good option for wet and rainy. Start at the bottom (there is extra parking on the main road near the highway, before you turn on Route 53), and walk 2 miles up to Monticello where you can access the bathroom, a cafe, explore the world-class exhibit and check out the Tourist shop.

This is the trail that can be accessed from our backyard. Just go down the stairs and proceed towards the creek. There you will see the worn path. Go left towards the west and you can pick up a paved trail. Go right towards the east and you can follow along the creek for about 2 miles.
