We haven’t had a whole lot to write about over the winter between traveling and projects around the house and we spent a lot of time doing some of our same old- same old favorite hikes that are close to home but we had perfect weather last Saturday and decided to get out and go somewhere we usually don’t go like Alabama.
We headed for Little River Canyon and it is decidedly one of the best things the state has to offer. The canyon drive is 20 some odd miles and offers many lookouts with some really great views and several short hikes along the way. We started at the North end and worked our way down.
The first trail we hiked along the way was the Beaver Pond Trail. Next we headed to Mushroom rock on the way to the Lower Two-Mile Trail. Then after stopping at several lookouts along the way we hit Eberhart Trail and ended at Canyon Mouth Trail.
The Canyon took all day because of all the stops and the four hikes but it was a day well spent. The kids got a lot of playtime in , we saw some awesome views, and enjoyed being able to do several hikes in a day. Well worth the trip.
Were you able to take your dog? What are some good dog friendly trails you would recommend?
this looks like an awesome day!
Yeah, we picked a great weekend to go up there.
Josh,
I didn’t read anything saying no dogs allowed. We did see a couple with a dog at one of the lookouts but none on the trail.
