Warpath Ridge Scout Trail

In the late 1960's a local Explorer Post / Troop in the Huntsville, Alabama area put together a hiking trail that encompassed Monte Sano State Park.  The park overlooked the City of Huntsville and is a local recreational destination for people living in the area.  When put together, the Trail circumvented the entire park bringing the hike to between 9-10 miles.  It was a short-lived trail as were other local hikes - Space Walk Trail & the  Big Springs Trail.

This patch was unique for not only its Arrowhead shape and button loop attachment (most were sewn out of the patch during this time) but for the Arrowhead that was glued to the center portion of the patch.  This became a very coveted Trail Patch to obtain or earn.  Due to its short life, not many of these patches made it out to the Scouts.  Many were destroyed by Scouts who wanted to take the Arrowheads off.  They are to this day one of the most unique Trail Patches ever produced and equally as hard to find.
