5 years agoIn Summer 2021 we had a $5 entry fee per person. We found this to be quite reasonable. We noticed there were bbqs and promised ourselves to bbq next year on our summer vacation. Views were breathtaking. Our hikes felt like a hug from a Mother Nature. The hikes stated at 1.2 miles and it goes quickly due to the beauty of the hike. Hikes are excellently titles with arrows labeled throughout the hike. Wear tennis shoes at a minimum and my husband recommended wearing pants so as not to get scratched by shrubs etc. Our hike at Monte Sano was a very fond memory of our vacation. The lookout will not disappoint. We felt very welcomed by the folks at the entrance gate. We hope to rent cabins neat summer starting at $115 with a two night minimum under certain conditions.
