This is a good place to hike. Trail is well maintained and there is a good view of Mississippi River Valley from top of bluff.
I always start to the right of the parking lot at the bottom of the trail. You get the steep incline first and the easy part of the walk at the end. My tip is to keep to the left at all times. You end up on parts of al three trails, but get the great views and end up where you started. If you want a short, easy trail, go to the left and just turn around when you like.
As a resident of Valmeyer and I have been hiking this trail all my life I can say for sure it is great for ether a casual hike or a workout out but the workout is worth it for the views
Beautiful! Flat wooded path for a more casual hike.. we take our dogs and they love it! Bluffs, cave openings, thick woods and peace. The other path is much steeper and more of a cardio workout, hilly and challenging, but the scenery looking out is fabulous! Best of both. Worth the drive!
Nice place to hike. I didn’t realize there were 2 locations to enter. We entered where the church is. Apparently, the other entrance saves you time and is closer to the Bluff hill where you can see all of the city and river. Amazing view. Be careful climbing the Bluff. If you’re not experienced, I wouldn’t suggest the hike. It’s a very steep hill.
