Excellent Primitive Hiking Close to Home
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.

Awesome hiking!!!
We lived on the edge of the land trust and would hike 4-7 times a week. It is really an awesome place to hike. We really loved going early in the morning, when it was just light enough to see. Lots of rocks that aren't too difficult to walk on, with a stream from time to time.
