  On an early March Saturday morning we traversed the Wildflower Trail adjaent Fagan Creek. I imagine the flowers will appear with the onset of spring but I enjoyed my hike just the same. We took the opportunity to find a few of the local geocaches and scout out additional trails for our next visit. Folks planning on a visit should know that it's not a paved trail, more like traditional hiking though the trails are easily identified and followed, marked with the names. The parking we found was very limited and we saw no signs of bathrooms so take care of business before you head out. If you enjoy easy to moderate hikes along flowing creeks, t

  So far all the trails I've been on have been very well maintained, marked and worth the time to hike. Only complaint I could have is the Trough Springs trail, trail markers soon disappear, and I never made it to the historic sight. I was told the historic marker is missing too. Called the Land Trust office and was expecting an email, but never received it.

  The LandTrust has maintained the trail system in the Huntsville Community so well. There is hiking for all skill levels and the true beauty of our community is hidden on these trails. I encourage everyone to take time and enjoy the beauty - behind the scenes...in the woods!

  Almost never congested this free access to Huntsville's best nature trails is a must visit. Spectacular at any time of year you see something new every time you go. Beautiful streams and waterfalls, especially after rainy periods. Generally easy trails but some more challenging ones are there if you want them. Easy connection to Monte Sano State Park trails. For me the number 1 attraction in Huntsville.

  The Land Trust Trails are well maintained, and the views are great. Trails vary from easy to difficult and vary in distance. Such an asset to the area.

  Beautiful scenery and views; trails well maintained and marked; guided hikes offered; summer hikes for kids get them outdoors in the fresh air; great asset to the area.

  We went on a hike to Green Mtn. The group was anyone who showed up-advertised in paper. There were different ages, levels of fitness, even two 11 year olds and we all kept up and got along.

  My husband and I stayed overnight in Huntsville while driving to northern Florida. We thought we'd take a hike before leaving. We ended up hiking the Bill and Marion Certain trail in Blevins Gap. What a beautiful area, and such a great view from the top of the mountain. The spring flowers here must be amazing. We hope to return in the future.

  We went hiking at Rainbow Mountain Trail. It was beautiful. You can see lots of rock formation, and the trail is challenging, we had to hop between rocks and it was fun. The trail head parking lot is blocked now, but we parked on the street near the water tower.

  The North Alabama Land Trust is comprised of several different properties: Wade Mountain Preserve north of Huntsville near the Toyota plant; Blevins Gap Preserve off Carl T. Jones drive between Jones Valley and Hampton Cove; Monte Sano Preserve on Monte Sano mountain; and Rainbow Mountain Trailhead in Madison, AL. All feature good but primitive (un-paved) hiking trails. Numerous trails wind through each preserve, with easy, moderate, and difficult trails in all. Trail maps can be downloaded for free from the Land Trust website (http://landtrustnal.org) for free. The maps include elevation contours and are to scale, making planning your hike much easier to plan. Wade Mountain has no facilities inside the preserve. Blevins Gap has a port-a-potty in the parking area. Bring your own water and snacks. Wear sturdy shoes and a hiking pole is a real plus here. An unspoiled and largely overlooked natural trasure in our own backyard.
