| Monte Sano State Park is situated on top of Monte Sano Mountain overlooking the Tennessee Valley. Establish in 1935, Monte Sano State Park has been providing a great getaway for several decades to just about anyone no matter what the age. It is home to numerous hiking trails, various wildlife such as the wild goats that are occasionally seen wandering the park, and the famous 50 K Mountain Mist Trail Run. It is no wonder Monte Sano means Mountain of Health. | |
