Alabama is known for many things: Gulf coast beaches, winning football teams, rolling fields of cotton, and some of the best bass fishing in the whole country. I am born and raised in the great state of Alabama, and I’ve spent almost 40 years driving the backroads looking for the best things to do. These days I try to find things that are fun for my kids, too.
On this first day of winter, it’s time to get out there and appreciate our state’s amazing scenery and take advantage of the mild winters.
For that reason, I assembled this Winter Bucket List to give you lots of ideas for things to do and places to go around Alabama this winter!

Hiking in the Sipsey Wilderness is one of our favorite day trips. We had a blast exploring in & around Mt. Cheaha recently, too. We have a beautiful state. =)
