Hike through the impressive ranch gate at the Monserate Mountain Preserve trailhead.

The Monserate Mountain Trail Loop is a lollipop shape, heading clockwise up to the left and down to the right.

Aside from a short breather or two, the climb to the summit is straight up. The loop is a longer descent, with a little 200 foot climb at the end.

This is what the 9/11 markers look like. There are 11 markers on the way up, one for every 10 stories of the 110-story original World Trade Center. They were put here to honor the fallen first responders who lost their lives on Sept. 11, 2001 and all those

The Monserate Mountain Preserve is a diverse and fragile habitat, so please respect any closed areas and stay on the trail.

The parking area is big but does fill up. This is a popular hike with local hikers, runners, and dog walkers.
