Easy, short hike to a great lookout from Alabama's highest point. Check out the nearby museum as well for a view from an old observation tower.

There is a shorter three-mile loop through the "canyons" and a longer seven-mile backcountry loop. Pleasant scenery, unique for the area, though it is a bit disappointing to know that it is just a result of bad farming.

Peaceful hike, accessible for kids, but the lower viewing platform is currently under construction.
