Backpacking Believers

Yesterday we went up to Lookout Mountain in Northeast Alabama. Our intentions were to see if the leaves had changed in the Little River Canyon Preserve. We decided we were going specifically for the purpose of taking some fall pictures of the canyon. We ate at a place called Ralph's Lil' River Canyon. This is a place we would recommend if you are ever in the area, but don't drive too fast and keep your eyes open or else you will miss it, we did. We walked down to Little River Falls and then we went on the scenic drive along the canyon rim. We took many pictures of this beautiful canyon as we stopped at many different lookouts. We met some nice people along the way and were even able to assist some with self portraits. We approached the last lookout and were discussing the trail that was there.
