Beautiful little nature reserve. In the middle of a very urban area. Lock your car, always. Other than that, enjoy, visit the nature center. Friendly staff, very knowledgeable

Great hike with beautiful views!!! Just be careful with snakes!! Seen 2 little rat snakes along the way!! But im not scared of snakes so this type of thing doesn't bother me. The trails are well kept and clearly marked.

Amazing experience, we went with longer trailhead but there's one closer by ballfields!

The overview was nice and it was quiet. We only saw a couple of people the entire time we were there. Birmingham's skyline isn't some majestic sight, but it is nice to see the whole city from one place.

If you are old like me you better bring your binoculars but you can see Vulcan from here and it is fun to have a line of sight between two of the southernmost Appalachian peaks.
I love the fact that you can either do a quick hike (0.6 miles with about 250 ft gain in elevation), or a beautiful but more challenging loop from the Nature Center using Ridge and Valley trail (2 miles with about 600 ft up and 600 feet down) and return to the Nature Center using Silent Journey and Quarry trail (1.2 miles with only 200 feet up and 250 feet down).
