Hiking

I think they call that part "Art Hill". Am I right? Looks past the statue of Louis IX and down toward the lake. Every angle of the park is different but that view takes my breath away every time I see it.

I do not know the county as well as those who've spent their lives here. On Moorland's list - plus the additions - can someone please tell me where the closest hiking trail is to South County? Around the area of Lindbergh/Gravois and north or south?

Since I have to rely on busses, I like to know what is near those. Thanks.

Grant's Trail. Thanks. Now please tell me why I didn't think of that myself. It is right around the corner and maybe five blocks from here.

But, Great Rivers Greenway? Where is that, please?

About Grant's Farm and Trail, you've hear of the New Yorkers - born and bred - who have never been to the Statue of Liberty? Well, after five years, I still have never been into Grant's Farm. I've been past it zillions of times but always in a cab or bus. I see the animals but get no further. Some day - when I can find the entry point. !!!!!!!!

Thanks again.

Great Rivers Greenway is an organization who builds and maintains trails (including Grant's Trail), not a specific trail.
Well, they do have a building they are physically located in too but I figured your question was asking if there is a trail called Great Rivers Greenway.

You are right. I was asking that. I went to the ever-faithful (almost) Google and found a bit about it. I really must get out more but it is so comfortable at home.

Hmmm. Wonder if I could talk them into building sidewalks all over the county. Sidewalks without ten-inch deep curbs.

Hawn St Park and Cathedral Canyon are great! Two other close-in spots I use to like to hike at when I lived in STL were the Hilda Young and LaBarque Creek Conservation Areas. Both areas are just SW of Eureka.

Happy Trails,
