    As a fledgling cyclist, I was a bit hesitant to bike this trail. My wife has a bit more experience and led me to the trailhead right off the back parking lot of the YMCA. We only biked a few miles, but this is not a circular route, so we had to bike back the way we came. The trail itself is a pleasant paved path. Definitely pay attention to the path, as there are a few sharp turns particularly at the end of long downhill paths. Most hills are extremely gentle. Also, there is at least one intersection that crosses Newtown Pike, but the crosswalk actually designed with cyclists in mind. I definitely plan on coming here again. As much as I want to get in mountain biking, I need to up my road biking game first.

    At the 'end' of the trail, or the beginning if you start at the Horse Park off Berea Road, there is a water station just off the trail!

    This trail gets a 5 for it being the only one of it's kind around. I suppose there is a trail where the dogpark is off Leestown, and there is a 2 mile foot path at the arboretum, but this trail has a good deal of coverage that feels isolated and in the country. The path is clean and paved. It welcomes foot traffic and bicycles. It is gorgeous to walk and a joy to be on. I just wish there was more tree coverage, but that is because I am pale :) I find sanctuary on this trail.

    I must write a review of the area and the beginning of the trail to alert future hikers that it is…read moretemporarily closed due to abuse, vandalism/garbage. People were loud and using the creek as a pool, spray painting and damaging the trail/trashing the area. So, if you are headed down to hike on the John Holder Trail, as we were, you will find it closed. The area itself is lovely. Hall's on the River is great (and open during Covid), you can still canoe on the river, and the fort is close by and well worth a visit.

    It was too beautiful of a day in February to not try to get in a hike. Decided to head out on the…read moreJohn Holder Trail. The trails were pretty muddy after the snow melt but it was worth it. I would rate it a moderately easy there and back trail but with some beautiful views of the Lower Howard River. Total round trip is just under 3 miles. There is a point that you do cross the river so make sure you have either waterproof hiking boots or the river is low enough to get across. Please don't try to cross if it is deep or flowing fast. Nobody wants to get hurt or wet. There are some elevation changes and several historical sites. For this hike there was a lot of pretty ice hanging off the cliffs. There is a waterfall but that's off property so you shouldn't hike there. And after a day of hiking you can get soon food at Halls On The River and enjoy the scenery from there. As for parking, I usually park across the street from Halls but there is parking behind Halls too.

    The pinnacles are absolutely gorgeous. And at the beginning of the trail, there is a gorgeous and…read morerustic amphitheater. If you stand on the stage and look out, the backdrop is the hilly mountains. So cool and really inspiring (especially if you were a theater kid!). We went up to a Indian lookout points, such a lovely view. We started heading West, which the sign did say was a difficult descent. But when we got to the cliff you had to climb down, the trail markers weren't totally clear, plus the sun was setting, so we decided to turn around and go to the Devil's Kitchen. It's amazing how difficult these trails are! We descended to multiple cliff formations with little caves to chill under. The scenery is 10/10. I just think the trail markers could be a tiny bit clearer. Highly suggest!

    Do it!! The Berea Pinnacles is one of my favorite places to hike when visiting Berea Kentucky. It's…read morea 3.4 mile out and back hike to the East Pinnacles. You can gain some extra mileage by visiting other overlooks on the mountain. I would say it's a moderate hike with some steep inclines and rocky areas to navigate. The trek up keeps me sweating. The view from the East Pinnacle is beautiful. Definitely the perfect spot to take in the beauty of nature. At the start of the trail head there is an area to grab a hiking stick. Be sure to pack plenty of water and wear appropriate shoes for hiking. Be safe on the edge of the rocks and make smart choices. It's beautiful but can be dangerous so use caution. @outdoorswithmandy
