Saunders-Monticello Trail
A free afternoon last week inspired a walk along the Saunders-Monticello Trail, a walking and biking trail leading to Monticello, home of 3rd U.S. President Thomas Jefferson. Located near Charlottesville, Virginia, the trail ascends Carter Mountain for two miles and ends at the Visitor Center. I found the hike to be very manageable, as the grade is not steep, and there was plenty of shade along the trail -- plus, the weather was perfect that day.
