Our First Alabama Adventure



We decided to take a hike over Labor Day weekend and we had many options. I had no idea there were so many outdoor things to do here in Alabama. We made the 2 hour drive up to Little River Canyon on Monday morning. Little River Canyon is a national park located in Northeast Alabama (about 20 minutes from the place where all the unclaimed airline baggage goes to be sold in a huge warehouse). The canyon itself is known as the Grand Canyon of the east. It was a great day for a hike. There is a 50 foot waterfall that we had easy access to and a great hike down the side of the canyon to the river below. This is where the adventure began...we stumbled upon a couple of nude bathers. They were actually suprised to see us and asked us to stop walking while they put their clothes on! Our reaction was to continue to walk and basically ignore them as best we could. Maybe if we were born and raised in Alabama we would have been shocked, but we just came from Austin where nudity is an acceptable form of expression at public pools and social events. Below are some pictures of the day.
