This Dreamy Road Trip Will Take You To The Best Fall Foliage In All Of Alabama

Fall is just a few weeks away, and there’s no denying that the best time to experience Alabama’s scenery is during this wonderful season. We’ve mapped out a road trip (below) that’ll take you to some of the most scenic, foliage-filled places. Because this road trip (one way) is less than 7 hours, it can easily be accomplished in one day. However, for the best possible experience, we recommend spending the entire weekend so you’ll have enough time to fully experience each place.

Now, let’s get started on the best road trip you’ll take this fall season.
