‪The walk up to the top of the park where the monument was a little steep at times, but it was doable, even for this fairly out of shape mid 50s woman. You walk through forest, so it’s a beautiful walk, especially with the fall colors. The view from the top is incredible and the monument itself is well kept and well done. We really enjoyed the signage explaining the symbolism on the monument. We were very glad we went.‬

‪Multiple paths to the summit, providing nature enthusiasts with ample photo opportunities. The trail is relatively quiet, especially considering the declining popularity of outdoors activities, especially hiking. The summit offers a better view of New Haven, though the skyline is not particularly remarkable. One path is steep and challenging, leading to a unique photo spot that most hikers may avoid due to the difficulty. Full Review: The park and the path up is a hidden gem for nature lovers seeking a peaceful hiking experience. The trail to the summit offers several paths, each with its own charm and difficulty level. During our visit, we found the trail to be refreshingly free of crowds, a rarity in today's world. One positive outcome of the declining popularity of outdoor activities, I suppose. As we ascended, we were treated to a variety of scenic spots perfect for capturing the beauty of nature. From lush greenery to rocky outcrops, there was no shortage of photo opportunities along the way. However, the real highlight was reaching the summit. Perched high above New Haven, the vista provided a unique perspective of the city, even if its skyline didn't boast any particularly iconic features. One of the most intriguing aspects of the trail was a steep, challenging path that few seemed willing to tackle. This route led to a secluded area with a breathtaking view, but its harsh incline and narrow steps made it a less popular choice. For those seeking a bit of adventure, this path offered a rewarding challenge and a chance to capture a truly unique photo. Our experience was a positive one. While it may not appeal to everyone, it is sure to delight nature enthusiasts, hikers, and photographers alike. If you're in the area and up for a bit of activity, I recommend this spot.‬
