Hiking Trails at Mountaindale Sun Resort
Hike, listen, breathe. Explore the trails of Mountaindale Sun Resort
Step onto a trail where the forest feels extra green, the air is alive with birdsong, and every bend brings a new little moment—wind in the canopy, a squirrel’s chirp, a flutter of butterflies over meadow blooms.
Easy to moderate to difficult – Forest & meadows – Peaceful escapes
As you wander along our trails, you’ll notice the orchestral soundtrack of the woods—leaves rustling overhead, birds calling from the firs, and the occasional buzz and chirp that reminds you you’re deep in nature.
Some days the vegetation is so lush it feels almost tropical, especially when you look down into the lower, greener pockets of forest. Pause, breathe, and let the place do what it does best: slow everything down.
A few featured trails…
Maple Trail
Shaded & lush woodland path
A moderate climb with a rewarding overlook—on a bright day, the cove along the way can look like a miniature rainforest.
Maple Cove
A babbling brook below
A classic woodland stroll with big mossy canopy, soft forest light, and that “everything’s extra green” feeling.
Alpine Park
A walk through a meadow
Open views and seasonal wildflowers—watch for butterflies drifting above daisies and foxgloves.

On some days, the forest calm is joined by the happy sounds of MSR:
kids laughing by a swing
a friendly wave from someone passing with a disc golf bag
a moment to relax and imagine a hidden river rushing nearby (real or not—your brain gets the vacation either way)
And occasionally, you might hear the background hum of a well-loved place being cared for—maintenance in the distance, a mower keeping things tidy, or the soft bustle near the clubhouse.
Most of the time, though, what you’ll notice is simple: the forest being the forest.
