Visitors will enjoy the solitude and beauty of the mile-long Alpine Trail as it winds through the steep, wooded hillside of Riverside Park. Though there is no access to the river, trail users are rewarded with spectacular views of the James River, as well as frequent sightings of woodland birds, including migrating hawks.

To enter the trail, look for the blue blazes found on trees along the pathways, as well as a marked entrance sign just past the Overlook. An entrance to the other end of the trail is found near the Fink Deck Truss Bridge.
