5 Geologic Formations in Alabama That You Shouldn't Miss

June 21, 2021 Malia Yoakum

If you head for the hills in the state you’ll end up in the northern sector where the inspiring mountains and attractions like the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, the Blue & Gray Museum in Decatur and the Ave Maria Grotto in Cullman represent the diversity of experiences available in the area. In the middle of the state you’ll find Birmingham, an urban center with great attractions and museums, and Tuscaloosa, the quintessential college town and home to the University of Alabama. For beach lovers, sandy destinations like Dauphin Island near Mobile, Gulf Shores and Orange Beach offer beautiful beaches, superb golf, fantastic seafood restaurants and heaping helpings of Southern hospitality. For those who love to chase the white dimpled ball, Alabama offers one of the best golf values anywhere. The Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail, a collection of 468 holes at 11 different sites across the state, features top-notch, championship style courses at affordable rates.

Walls of Jericho

Reviewed By bethk708 - Grapevine, United States

This hike is beautiful. If you are in the area it is worth your time!!! It is about 7.2 miles round trip up and down hills. It is a little slippery the last 1/2 mile but amazing surprise at the end. Beautiful waterfall and blue pool. Make sure you go all the way or you will miss the waterfall and limestone rock walls. Take a water bottle and snacks. Wear hiking shoes if possible and take a camera. Enjoy. I would rate it difficult but fun.
