The garden has several little trails in every direction going downward with lots of greenery, flowers, and pretty aloe plants. There's so many rest spots with hidden benches that were fun finding. I think we stopped at every one of them and it gave us the same excitement each and every find. The trails are narrow and if I'm sure someone could slip if they aren't paying attention, but for the most part the manmade steps help guide you up, down and around. I'd keep a good eye on a kid if you decided to take them. There's a lot of horse poop going up the dirt trail so be careful.

There are 2 ways to go up the mountain from the Mineral Wells Park area, if you make a left the trail winds up the mountain steeply with many sets of stairs (pretty good leg workout!) but if you take a right and go up the larger horse trail it's a bit easier of a climb. At first a little steep but after the first incline it levels out and is much easier of a hike than the...
