Top Active Leisure Sport in Alabama

I suggest hitting the trails around 9 AM. The morning crowd is way lighter, and the temps are nice before it gets too hot.

Make sure to download the trail maps before heading out. Cell service can be sketchy, and I lost my way a couple of times without it!

If you're renting gear, shop around online before you come. I found a place that was way cheaper than on-site rentals. Saved me a decent amount!

My advice is to bring your own snacks and water. There aren’t many dining options close by, and you’ll appreciate a break while exploring.

I recommend wearing sturdy shoes with good grip. Trust me, the terrain can get slippery, especially near the cave entrances. I almost took a spill and it wasn't fun!

I suggest downloading a good caving app or map before you go. GPS might not work well inside, and getting lost in those stunning caverns doesn't sound like fun!

I recommend getting there early, like around 5 PM, to snag a good spot in the stands. The best views go fast, especially on race nights.

My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks. The concession prices can be a bit steep, and having your own stuff makes the experience a lot more relaxing.
