Site accessible from the road and does not require much effort to get there, with several hiking trails
The site is accessible from the road and does not require much effort to get there. There are several hiking trails, all fairly short and accessible. History has it that it was in front of this breathtaking landscape that Herman Melville came up with the idea for Moby Dick's story in 1850. Melville and his friend Nathaniel Hawthorne, the illustrious author of The Scarlet Letter (1850), had a picnic in the reserve one summer of that year. Monument Mountain was mentioned in American literature as early as 1815, in a poem by William Cullen Bryant.
