See Talladega at it’s prime fall foliage beauty

Famous for its superspeedway, Talladega came in at number seven on The Travel’s list.

Schedule your trip this October and catch Cheaha Mountain, Talladega Scenic Byway and Choccolocca Creak at their prime natural beauty.

Wondering what you can do when you’re there?

• Rent a canoe or kayak and paddle down Choccolocco Creek.
• Drive along scenic country roads like the Talladega Scenic Byway.
• Conquer the Lincoln Hill/Pinhoti Trail at Cheaha Mountain, Alabama’s highest point.

Watch the leaves change colors around Cullman’s Smith Lake

Cullman, a small town nestled in North Alabama, comes alive with its popular Oktoberfest celebration each fall. It’s also the home of a little music festival known as Rock the South. That said, Cullman remains one of the least-crowded southern towns in the fall to visit.

See the beauty for yourself and give these excursions a go, courtesy of The Travel:

• Drive along County Roads 222 and 397
• Stop at picturesque Smith Lake Park.
