About Grand Promenade

This paved walk runs along the hillside above the historic bathhouses, with ramps and staircases rising from several points downtown. Benches with backs and waysides dot the route, letting you take in the bathhouse facades and the wooded slopes of North Mountain. It also links to the Peak, Oertel and Tufa Terrace trails, making it a common starting point for hikes up the mountain. Bring your own water, as none is readily available along the way.
