The One Spot In Alabama That’s Basically Heaven On Earth
There are many beautiful places located throughout Alabama. As a matter of fact, some of these places are so beautiful that they’re basically ‘Heaven on Earth.’ One place in particular that fits this characteristic perfectly is Ruffner Mountain.
Ruffner Mountain is a beautiful nature preserve that covers 1,038 acres and is located in Birmingham, Alabama.
Iron ore mining was the primary activity that took place on Ruffner Mountain during the late 1800s to the 1950s. Today, the mountain offers a great view of what was once the quarry.
There are 14 trails located throughout the preserve that are used for hiking, running and wildlife viewing. These trails are open to the public every day from dawn until dusk.
