  • By Billy Ritch
    Beautiful area to hike! Trails are very well maintained and marked very well. For those that may need them, there are benches along the trail to take a break on and signs advising which trail you're on. The quarry provide some outstanding views also. A great way to spend a day! 5.00 per day parking, payable on line from parking area.
  • By yuanfan yang
    Entry level nature trail. Unpaved. About 1 hour relaxed hike to the top, where you can get a view of downtown Birmingham as well as the airport. $5 parking fee per car.
