SAUNDERS HEIGHTS, accessible via Mountain Avenue (turn east - look for the gray sign post) at Hwy 21/221.  This park is located overlooking the city and the city skyline to the west.

The park is named for local dignitary and famous gun enthusiast, C.B. “Buck” Saunders, (see also, the Saunders Museum, just off the City Square).  The summit of Saunders Heights Park features picnic tables and a spectacular view.

The park also provides access to the May Rock Trail, an approximately half-mile round-trip hike.  The trailhead is located on the north side of the mountain top, and is marked by a gate signifying “May Rock Trail”.
