Land Trust Loop
City: Huntsville
Description: The Land Trust Loop combines three trails: the Bluffline Trail; the Waterline Trail; and the Alms House Trail.
As its name suggests; the Bluffline Trail runs along the limestone bluffs of Monte Sano Mountain; crossing a few creeks and passing two waterfalls along the way. The scene shifts in the Waterline Trail; with the hike becoming more difficult as the path follows a streambed. An old waterline is exposed in portions of this trail; hence the name. The final portion of the loop begins when hikers reach Three Caves Quarry; where the Alms House Trail starts. The Alms House Trail is a bit smoother than the Waterline Trail; but the trail ascends steeply just before the parking lot.
