About This Trail
The 9.1 miles roll continuously through 4 distinct climbs, adding up to 315 ft of gain without one dominant ascent. The main climb starts around mile 7.2 and runs 1.8 miles, gaining 150 ft at an average 1.5%. You finish 86 ft above the start, so the return trip runs mostly downhill.

Background

It was proposed in 1903 by the Olmsted Brothers architecture firm as part of the development of Forest Park. One greenway expert calls it "one of the most creative and resourceful greenway projects in the country."
