Monocacy Hill Trail in Pennsylvania might not be on your radar when it comes to hiking. However, it really should be on your bucket list. After all, you won't find a more magical trek on which to embark. The trail's brimming with natural beauty, hidden surprises, and some of the state's best views. Perhaps even better, it's picture-perfect in every season - from the blossoming days of spring to the snow-capped afternoons of winter.

Be prepared for a moderately challenging trek along the 4.2-mile Monocacy Hill Trail, which meanders through Monocacy Hill Recreation Area in Douglassville.

The recreation area spans 428 forested acres and includes six miles of trails. One of the best hiking trails in Pennsylvania, Monocacy Hill Trail really deserves a trek in all four seasons.

However, all that maneuvering hills, rocky portions, and muddy spots will be well worth it for the magical scenery that awaits.

If you're hiking during hunting season in Pennsylvania, make sure you take precautions, including by wearing bright orange gear.

Hop from stepping stone to stepping stone if you're in a whimsical kind of mood. Or just enjoy a leisurely stroll on the tree-lined path.

On a sunny day, the sunbeams will peek through the trees as you stroll along the boardwalk. Listen for the birds in the trees, and keep an eye out for any snakes that might slither by.

If you see a snake, don't approach it. Remember when hiking to leave everything as you've found it - including animals and plants. If you bring drinks and food with you, take the remains back to your car when your adventure is over.

Lush vegetation dots the path. You'll find a ton of photo-worthy moments. Just remember to bring your camera and plenty of water, and wear sturdy shoes.

If you're hiking during the warmer months, lather on the bug spray, and bring some along. After your hike, check for ticks, which are common in Pennsylvania.

The boardwalk and stepping stones make for an easy path. However, the trail gets rocky and rough, so you want to be prepared.

Even if you bring your phone along, you might want to let someone know where you're going to be, just in case of an emergency.

Along your way through the forest, you'll pass a tiny waterfall that tumbles gently into a crystal-clear pool.

Dip your feet in the refreshing water to cool down on a hot summer day.

One of the highlights of the trail is, arguably, the view from the top of the hill. You might even want to time it so you arrive on the hilltop to catch the sun as it falls asleep.

You might want to bring your pup along on your trek. However, all dogs must remain leashed.
