Monte Sano State Park Tour
Monte Sano State Park is known as the park that spans from the stone age to the space age.
Hiking McKay Hollow Trail, Monte Sano State Park, Alabama
The McKay Hollow Trail is a 4 mile out and back trail located in Monte Sano State Park, near Huntsville, Alabama (we combined McKay Hollow with the South Plateau Loop Trail on this day to make a 4 mile loop hike instead).
We had a beautiful day with the temperatures not too hot for summer in Alabama and the humidity relatively low for this time of year. This trail features a small waterfall (only a trickle on this day due to dry weather) and a steep descent into a deep and refreshingly cool valley; or hollow as they say around here. During the summer season, the views are few and filtered, but the forest is beautiful and green. There is no reliable water along this trail, so make sure to bring plenty along.

Monsoon on Monte Sano Mountain, Fagan Creek, Huntsville AL
8 inches of rain in 7 days transformed Fagan Creek into something spectacular. Enjoy a rare treat as we follow the swollen stream from the bottom of Monte Sano Mountain to where even the trails don't dare go. Just a mile (as the crow flies) from Huntsville city center, yet oceans away. Thank you North Alabama Land Trust!
Hiking at Wade Mtn Nature Preserve - Huntsville, AL
On my last full day in Huntsville, AL, I didn't feel like biking so I went for a hike at the Wade Mtn Nature Preserve via the Wade Mtn Trailhead.
On this hike, I hit up the Wade Mtn Greenway which turns into the Wade Mtn Trail, over to the Fossil Bench Trail to the end of the property, then back to the intersection of the Bostick Trail, up the Bostick Trail back to the Wade Mtn Trail and back out the greenway.
I had read of being able to find fossils somewhere, but I guess I wasn't looking in the right spot. I was mistaken thinking the location would be at the edge of the property, but it wasn't. If anyone knows of where to look, please comment below.
For anyone interested in the route I hiked, you can check it out via this Strava link:

Our Love Is A Garden - Monte Sano State Park
I played a wedding for some friends up at Monte Sano State Park in beautiful North Alabama and took the opportunity to record a little video amongst the beautiful scenery. Audio was recorded with an iPhone, so sorry about all the extra noise, but hopefully it just adds to the feeling of being outside in nature. 10/16/2016
Well winter’s approaching
so I’ll take the plow
Our love is a garden
it’s growing year round
The sun on your face dear
the earth on your clothes
and all the birds singing
what nobody knows
This work’s never ending
it’s joy and it’s pain
our mothers and fathers
would tell us the same
I’ll turn the earth over
put my seeds in the ground
Our love is a garden
it’s growing year round
