3 years agoAs a hiker/walker I can only give 4 stars. Rail to trail is great but rail tracks are built as straight as possible and with slopes 2% or less. That is fantastic for roller skates and all kinds of rolling equipment, but walking (slowly) for several miles without much change of scenery can be a bit boring. Other than that it is a an easy walk but I believe that it took 15000 steps from Red Mountain Park (RMP) parking to Midfield and back. The stretch from RMP to Wenonah road has an ungodly number of mimosa trees while the trail from Wenonah to the actual beginning of the trail is not really marked or blazed. I loved the mature hackberries, elm, and maples and being 30 feet above the surrounding landscape. Well done and unfortunately underutilized. Give it a try but bring a field guide to bridge boring passages of the trail with fun taxonomy.

8 months agoI've not yet walked the full length of the trail, but the part that I've experienced is delightful. It is both paved and well laid out with ample room to go around other walkers/runners without altering your pace. It is also shaded in large portions which will be great as the summer months approach.

2 years agoGreat place to walk/ride, seek solitude. Connector to Red Mountain Park is well maintained, significant elevation change relative to remainder of trai, but makes connection to Red Mountain Park North Trail (#17)

2 years agoThis trail is 3.1 miles long and is an easy ride. The last mile, which is the Red Mountain trail, has more incline, but it is still very moderate. It is all paved and is very accessible for the whole family, including a tricycle style, for the elderly or handicapped. It is a scenic path through the trees, crossing roads and railways. It's advertised that it closes at dusk, and you probably wouldn't want to be there after dark anyway.
