The Terrace Trail is part of the network of trails in the city of Newcastle. It connects the Highlands Loop Trail with the Crosstown Trail by starting low in a residential neighborhood and climbing via a series of switchbacks. Along the way you will pass through a forest full of big trees and boulders alongside the trail. A bench provides an opportunity to rest during this steep climb.
