Get Lost: 3 Mountains to Conquer on a Gallon of Gas

Huntsville, Alabama is a great place for hiking, but you have to know where to look. My favorite local trails all climb over three local mountains:

• Monte Sano Mtn
• Rainbow Mtn
• Wade Mtn.

The Land Trust of Huntsville and Madison County maintains trail networks on all 3 sites, and an additional network of trails within Monte Sano State Park adds to this, so that in all, there are nearly 50 miles of challenging, well-maintained hiking spots within 30 minutes of downtown Huntsville. I published an article describing these 3 hikes in the Valley Planet on January 15, 2009.
