We’re headed to beautiful Cumberland to go on the famous Monastery Hike. It’s approximately 3.4 miles and takes around 1 hour and 13 minutes to complete.
This wooded loop passes a view of the gravel pit and a stream along the way. Most of the trail is flat but there are a few pronounced hills you will hike over. There are a few historical monuments alongside the loop. View the trail map here
