Monte Sano is a jewel of a park tucked away atop a mountain just 8
minutes from downtown Huntsville. The understory is very good on
most sites. Even though the park is so close to Huntsville, it is
extremely quiet because the park is located on the east side of the
mountain and Huntsville is on the west side.
Trails reveal gorgeous views of the Tennessee River Valley and
diverse wildlife, including numerous migratory songbirds. A stretch of
parkway now closed to vehicles offers scenic touring for the
wheelchair-bound and others.
