Camping in the trees at Monte Sano State Park.

Monte Sano State Park has 14 vacation cottages.

"Monte sano" is Spanish for "mountain of health." Despite the urban development that encircles it, 1,650-foot Monte Sano is said to have cooler, cleaner air than its surroundings. So refreshing was its air that the mountain at one time was the site of a sanatorium.

Today it is a state park that offers camping, hiking, picnicking with great views and rock climbing.

Of the park's 20-mile trail system, about 10 miles of trails lower on the mountain are shared by hikers and mountain bikers. The upper trails are for foot use only.

Trails reveal gorgeous views of the Tennessee River Valley and diverse wildlife, including numerous migratory songbirds. A stretch of parkway now closed to vehicles offers scenic touring for the wheelchair-bound and others.

The park is home to a variety of interesting geological formations, including caves. Rock climbing is permitted with prior notice.

There is primitive camping at Monte Sano and 89 developed campsites. Fourteen rustic cottages near a cliff overlook the valley.

The cottages are among the park buildings constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps. Also of interest are the nearby Burritt Museum, devoted to regional history, and the Von Braun Planetarium within the park.
