The Meanwood Valley Trail links Leeds city centre with countryside in the north. The route follows a wooded corridor rich in cultural and natural history. The trail takes you through ancient woodland and parkland, passing historic mill ponds and weirs along the way.

The route starts the statue of H.R. Marsden, close to the junction of Woodhouse Lane and Raglan Road, and ends at the Golden Acre Park pedestrian underpass, Leeds Road (A660) and can be run in either direction.

Badger Creek Wilderness is on the SE Flank of Mt. Hood.  The Badger Creek Trail #479 is in the heart of the wilderness area.  It's a steady climb from 2000 to 5000 feet of elevation that ends on the northern side of Badger Lake.
