The Highland Rustic Hiking Trails are next to Monticello with complimentary access to explore these beautiful trails. Our favorite is a short 1 mile, mostly flat loop. The pine trees and wild flowers are perfect for getting everyone into relaxation mode. 

Beyond the Woodland Loop, you'll find alternative trail options that wander through the surrounding nature and grounds. You can cover almost six miles on the four different, but interconnecting trails (yellow, blue, green and red) and they range from easy to moderately strenuous. They are also free and open to the public.
