What makes Dismals Canyon such a great place for an Alabama getaway?

While places like the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone National Park often steal the show in terms of bucket-list worthy adventures in the U.S., Alabama's Dismals Canyon is an equally wondrous natural wonder worth adding to your list. Tucked away in Alabama’s northwest corner lies a lush sandstone gorge known as Dismals Canyon. This 85-acre oasis is not exactly a hidden gem, but there are plenty of unspoiled groves and grottos to enjoy some peace and quiet. This tranquil treasure was designated as a National Natural Landmark in 1975 by the National Natural Landmarks Program, and it’s a desired destination for both locals and visitors from across the country. One of the first things you'll notice is that Dismals Canyon appears more like Middle Earth than the Deep South. Waterfalls, old-growth forests, lush landscapes, secret caves... this enchanting place surrounded by one of the few remaining old-growth forests in Alabama, and it's an absolutely wondrous place to hike and explore!

While you're there, it's great to have a "home base" for your adventures, and in addition to the above Dismals Canyon cabins, there are select camping and glamping sites that are great for those seeking a more immersive experience of this Alabama treasure!
