Beautiful trail. Took M.H trail to the overlook with the kiddos. Gets pretty rocky in the higher elevations, but worth the climb and view!!

I love running here. Some sections are a little more technical while you can really cruise on other sections. You can get a fair amount of elevation as well.

Can you fly a drone here?

Mack L | Sep 16, 2022
Ann Boyle | Sep 16, 2022

It would depend upon your flying skills. 1. There are a lot of trees to negotiate. 2. If you crash it in the woods, it could be challenging to retrieve it. Of course, they prefer that you stay on the trails and don't disrupt the woods and wildlife within.

Some of the trails are mountain bike friendly. Biking isn't allowed in April or May according to the website: monocacyhill.org

How far to the top of the hill? Would it be too difficult for small children (under 6)?

Definitely...it's actually difficult for some of us grown ups! 😁 But, no better place in the area to catch a sunset. Just bring your flashlight.

How difficult are the trails? Much incline?

Anita | Sep 30, 2020
Ryan Lineaweaver | Sep 30, 2020

We did the lower trail. It was fairly gradual except for one spot after the waterfalls which was pretty steep. Otherwise, it's a breeze.

Is it easy to navigate a stroller on the trail?

No, too many inclines, it's a tough hike.
