Parks & Nature

Beautiful, well-traveled trail through the woods, much of it elevated on boardwalks. Consistent easy incline. You can make your way up to the Monticello Visitors' Center at the top (bathrooms, cafe) or start your visit to TJ's house this way. Adjacent to these trails is a network of single track trails through a conservation area called Secluded Farm. Great for birding: http://www.monticello.org/parkway/secludedfarm.html
