Sat. 8/9. Join us for a hike with creekkeeper John Wathen at beautiful Hurricane Creek in Cullman County.
The Park is a 67+ acre natural area, nestled in a 500 foot deep canyon in the foothills of the Appalacian Mountains. The park features several waterfalls that are rain fed and run about eight months out of the year. There are many unusual rock formations, and beautiful scenic views.  And for you bird enthusiasts the Park has been added as a stop on the North Alabama Birding Trail and is host to many species of birds. We will meet at 9 am in the Brunos parking lot on Lakeshore Pkway (right off Lakeshore exit) and drive to the park, located in Vinemont. If you prefer to meet us there we will meet at the Food World at the intersection of Hwy 11 (University Blvd East) and 15th street (Hwy 216). Bring lunch and wear sunscreen. Hike is rated easy-moderate. Contact Lois at 873-4075 or lois.gail@gmail.com.

Sat. 8/23. Day Hike and Swim Chinnabee Silent Trail.

Enjoy a cooling dip at Devil’s Den, a swimming hole and falls at the end of the 3-mile hike. The hike is rated moderate because of the distance and the potential for a hot summer day.
