Burritt on the Mountain

Explore the Mountain Paths

Positioned on Round Top Mountain, Burritt's nature trails stretch over four miles through peaceful woodland settings. These winding paths aren't just isolated routes - they connect seamlessly with the broader trail networks of Monte Sano State Park and the Land Trust of North Alabama, making your hiking options practically endless.

Something for Every Hiker

Regardless of whether you're a casual walker or a dedicated hiker, there's a trail that fits your comfort level here. The Rock Bluff Trail is particularly worth checking out - it loops around Round Top Mountain offering some truly beautiful views along the way.

Feeling adventurous? Branch off onto discovery paths like the Big Cove Turnpike Trail or the Trough Springs Trail. Many hikers make it their mission to reach the Cross, and we can see why - the views after that climb are absolutely worth the effort.

Nature and History Side by Side

As you make your way through these trails, you'll stumble upon fascinating bits of history, including the remains of old coal mines that tell stories of the mountain's past. The interesting limestone formations scattered throughout add a geological dimension to your hike. Bird enthusiasts will appreciate that this area is officially part of the Huntsville/Madison County Birding Trail - so keep your eyes open for local winged residents!

Before You Go

You can access these trails during Burritt on the Mountain's regular hours. It's worth noting that while hiking the trails themselves won't cost you anything, they're part of the larger Burritt complex which has its own admission fees for other attractions. The trails themselves, however, remain free to enjoy.
