The “Borghi e Colline” Trail is a circular hiking route connecting Bagno a Ripoli, Grassina, and Antella, crossing a wide and diverse territory between Florence, the Chianti hills, and the Valdarno. The itinerary has an official length of 52.5 km with approximately 2,000 meters of positive elevation gain (slightly less according to a track recorded with a Garmin Fenix 6X Pro). The route alternates single-track paths, forest roads, and short stretches of asphalt, reflecting the historical and rural nature of the area it crosses.

Illinois Mountain is located in Highland, NY near the Mid-Hudson Bridge, and is visible far and wide due to the large radio tower on the top. Trails are accessible from Berean Park, where there is a parking lot and small beach. There are five single-track MTB-trails: red, white, blue, yellow, and green, some of which are connected only via the gated access road that goes up to the towers (not all of the road is open to the public). The land is owned by the Town of Lloyd and Scenic Hudson, and maintained by volunteers from the Fats in the Cats mountain bike club and community members.

The trail begins from the main entrance gate of Jamacho Gumba (Monastery) in Nagarjun Forest also called the Fulbari Gate, Kathmandu. From the gate, enter into the primary stone stairway and established footpath that goes all the way up through the dense forest to the Monastery.
