This was one of the best days of my trip. This little piece of heaven is just north of the city about 30 minutes or 12 miles. A wonderful place for singles, couples, or families. This national monument is open year around from 8am to sunset and for the small admission price of $2-3 it is worth the trip.

The park is large enough for hiking, but small enough that you don't feel exhausted at the end. A great place for kids. The paths are clean and well maintained. There are also numerous less travelled trails leading to beautiful areas all over the mountain. You will see many species of birds and other wildlife such as deer, chipmunks, and fish. There is a gift shop and a deli in the visitor's center. The restrooms have a little to be desired, but were clean enough.
