Description
This section of Monte Sano is accessed from the South Monte Sano Trailhead. It connects to several trails and has free, but limited parking. When exiting your car, walk towards (not directly) the big round green structure following the end of the gravel. There you should find a trail which shortly forks. Take a left for the quickest route to the rocks.
Arrowhead Trail cuts through a 20-30 foot high rock passageway, primarily Limestone with sharp flakes and plentiful horizontal ledges and cracks. It takes are around 30+ minutes walking to get there. It's easy but sustain hiking so don't forget water.
Some cracks and deep pockets seem sketchy to put your hands in but only small harmless insects and spiders(daddy long legs) has ever been spotted in them so far. However small animals have and can be in between the small caves between the fallen rocks towards the end of the site so beware.
While adventurous people are sure to have scrambled these rocks in the past, no documentation for them exists. If FA or route name info becomes known, please message the page author to correct them.
Getting There
Only 10 minutes East from Huntsville. Take Governors Drive East, turn left and drive North on Monte Sano Blvd a short ways until you come across the Monte Sano South Parking trailhead on the right.
The approach to the actual climbable rock is about a 15-20 minute walk (about 0.9 miles on Arrowhead Trail, starting at the Land Trust lot), easy but sustained hiking.
