Rocket City Pride Hike at Green Mountain

The Land Trust is proud to partner with Rocket City Pride to celebrate all the colors of nature and find belonging among the trees of Green Mountain. 

(Moderate / Around 2.5 hours / 2.1 miles) On the first official weekend of summer come for a refreshing hike at Green Mountain Nature Preserve. This hike along Alum Hollow Trail will take hikers to Alum Falls and Alum Rock Shelter, two scenic spots on the preserve.  The rock overhang served as a shelter for native residents and travelers over this area’s human history.  The trail is relatively easy, with the exception of a steep hill leading down to the waterfall and cave at the half-way point.  

Hike Leader: Meghan Kenny

Location: Green Mountain Nature Preserve (Alum Hollow Trailhead) – 13800 South Shawdee Road, Huntsville, AL 35803

Please note: The Land Trust’s Green Mountain Nature Preserve is located next to Madison County Nature Trail so please be sure you’re going to the right location.
