Monte Sano Nature Preserve (Bankhead Trailhead)

Great, well marked trails. Beautiful views everywhere. We hiked a 5.5mi loop and my kids loved it.

Natural Well Trail is gorgeous. Some of the trails are very rocky, so be careful about twisting your ankles or falling. The parking lot is very small, so I sometimes park in the grass across the street. This area is particularly lovely in the fall, but be cautious if it has rained recently, as the rocks get slick and the wet leaves can mask the trail. 1 Share Response from the owner 4 years ago Natural Well Trail is actually part of Monte Sano State Park but its a great hike!

Great trails for both mountain biking and hiking. It feels very remote out in the park once you consider how close you are to Huntsville, which is nice. Be prepared for rugged terrain and bring plenty of water!

Mind-centering serene hiking trails for simple pleasure or re-evaluating the important things. Possesses both beginner trails and moderately difficult which are clearly marked. Also ample options for mountain biking. Lots of shade. Gorgeous in the fall. Come here to get away and unplug.

A patchwork of 50-100 year old stands of mixed hardwoods and pines, dissected by trails and streams. Wildflowers, animals, fungi, and fossils abound in this beautiful example of the Cumberland Plateau Escarpment ecoregion. This is a fantastic spot for educational hikes for those interested in ecology and geology. Please enjoy, but don’t forget to pick up your trash! Help us keep these trails clean for all to enjoy

I'm a california hiker (dirt and rocks) but I have been on a few trails here and they are all pretty nice! Except the time my son fell and broke his ankle in 3 places😳 We recently went up to see the spot where he fell but there was a tree down from the recent tornado. Be safe!

Fun trail. A lot of the paths we took were rock but we liked the extra challenge. We did see a snake so keep an eye out as with any hike. Would definitely recommend. Little disappointed we couldn't go to the Three Caves but it was still nice to see from the gate. Like Share Response from the owner 2 years ago Glad you enjoyed your hike. Thanks for visiting!

It was amazing, long trail but pretty views and a nice calm walk with friends or family. Visited on Public holiday Wait time No wait Reservation recommended No

Beautiful place to visit, a lot of hiking trails, most of the trails are easy and accessible. Parking is relatively easy. There are some hidden small waterfalls among the trails for you to explore. Overall it is a nice weekend relaxing place for me. 2 Share Response from the owner 3 years ago Thanks for visiting! We're glad to hear you enjoyed it.

My favorite place to hike. Easy trails, beautiful scenery, close to town but feels far away. 1 Share Response from the owner 2 years ago Glad you enjoyed your hike. Thanks for visiting!
