For the incurably romantic fans of the Bridges of Madison County, a popular novel by Robert James Waller, taking a stroll along the Green Mountain Nature Trail in Huntsville is a veritable pilgrimage.
The trail, starting in southeast Huntsville, takes you to the top of the Green Mountain, high above the city noise, to the world of blooming azaleas, wildflowers, ancient Champion Winged Elm Tree and, of course, the famous covered bridge. The 1.5 mile trail winds through the 72 acre park and loops around the Sky Lake, a lovely spot for quiet contemplation or line fishing.
