New River Trail is a 57-mile linear park that follows an abandoned railroad right-of-way. The park parallels the scenic and historic New River for 39 miles and passes through four counties and the city of Galax. The trail's gentle slope makes it great for visitors of all ages to hike, bike and ride horseback. The park's Foster Falls area offers guided horseback trips; canoe and bike rentals; boat launches; gift shops; and a horse arena.

HIKE TO STILES FALLS
Alta Mons is home to Stiles Falls, a beautiful 40 foot waterfall. Hiking to the falls is open to the public everyday, except during summer camp, winter camp and bad weather (snow and ice). We do ask that visitors park at the front of the property and walk to the trail head. Dogs are allowed, but please keep them on a leash and clean up after them. Pack out what you pack in from the trail, and pick up any extra trash that you may find. From the parking area to the falls and back is about 3 miles round trip. Check out the map below for a layout of Alta Mons. There are directional signs around camp and the trail is blazed in white. The trail crosses the creek 3 times and ends with a rock scramble.
