To get to Tennessee and North Carolina from Texas, we had one long driving day and spent he night in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The goal for the next day was to spend most of it in Chattanooga, Tennessee and get to Gatlinburg in the evening. Chris and I had done tons of research before this trip, and Little River Canyon National Preserve kept popping up when we looked into what to do in Alabama. Since it was on our way from Tuscaloosa to Chattanooga, we knew we had to stop by.
The biggest reason we wanted to visit the preserve was for the Little River Falls. Unfortunately, Alabama has been really dry this year, and the falls were non-existent. It didn’t spoil our fun, though, as we still got to see some pretty fall color and gorgeous views. Plus, we knew there were many waterfalls to come on this trip!
We love mini stops to break up hours of dropping, and Little River Canyon National Preserve was worth a visit. I would love to explore the area more if we ever come that way again.
Even without the falls, it looks super pretty!
ReplyDeleteThis is one part of the country that is super close to me, yet I've never made a visit. I need to make that happen! This time of year is the perfect time to go.
ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYou've inspired me to start doing this on my blog. I never really talk about places individually. It's usually just a general of my trips as a whole.
Happy Monday!
I've never explored any part of Alabama! Those are gorgeous views!
ReplyDeleteYou inspired me to find some side trips on our beach vacation and we ended up in Charlotte, NC for a few hours this time! It was great!
The fall colors are just so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love finding little treasures like this on roadtrips! That's a bummer that there weren't a ton of colors yet, but that view is gorgeous even if the trees were still green!
ReplyDeleteoh bummer about the waterfalls but glad it was still gorgeous anyway. i love mini stops on road trips, especially if they involve food ;) KC is the opposite, he likes to drive as long as possible. boo.
ReplyDeleteThose fall colours.... perfection.
ReplyDeleteAren't they pretty? :)
DeleteWhat a wonderful spot for some leaf peeping!! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston

You are so sweet, Adele! Thank you for your kind words! Heading over to check out your blog now. :)
DeleteThis is such a fun one! I never would have thought that this would be there! So cool when road trips work out that way. I enjoyed stopping in AZ for the Painted Desert. The petrified forest was not my jam, but the desert was pretty. We also did a great stop at the super museum in metropolis, IL this summer. Having a car in Savannah, GA was great too because we could go to little islands nearby! XO - Alexandra
