While I feel they could use more signage to keep you on the correct trail, we did end up getting to our destination. We went on a warm Saturday afternoon and saw few people once we got 10 minutes from the parking lot. I hope to go back and try more trails.

Red mountain park offers variety of trails, dog park and play areas for kids. Trails range from easy to difficult. Play areas are temporarily closed due to Covid. Grace's Gap trail is moderate difficulty trail with scenic views of the town at the end of the trail. About 4 to 4.5 miles from the entrance. Park has free parking on site. Entry is free but, they recommend $3 donation. Porta pottys at various places.

This is a nice vantage point with a couple overlooks and a picnic table. The view isn't necessarily all that breathtaking, but it's a neat perspective on the city. The hike to get here is relatively easy, about two miles in if you go straight from the main gate, and the trails are well-marked with a good number of maps posted along the way.

Nice little hike right off I-65. Nice parking area and there are activities like zip lining here. We hiked out to Grace's Cap and back. We saw an old abandoned mining shaft along the way. Nice area close to the city.
