TOPOGRAPHY OF NORTHERN ALABAMA

The northernmost regions of the state are home to the foothills of the Appalachian mountains, with Huntsville nestled in the Tennessee Valley. Not as lush as their northern and coastal neighbors Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida – think of Huntsville’s forests more like humid, rocky, hardwood, and pine-filled forests.

We divide up Alabama’s outdoor adventures into two categories.

If you’re looking for hiking, see directly below for some of our favorite trails. If you need a little something less strenuous -scroll for easy nature lovers’ activities!
