Scenic Outdoors

Escape this fall and enjoy the splendor of the season by taking a road trip to Alabama’s hidden gem in the mountains. Mentone is a small mountain town located in the northeastern corridor of the state, in DeKalb County. Around this time of year, the fall colors are at their peak, and the crisp air has taken over the warmer days. The scenic drives are a must-do especially for motorcycle enthusiasts. Your days can be filled with canoeing, horseback riding, snow skiing, shopping, fishing or golfing.

DeKalb County also is one of the most spectacular areas for viewing vibrant colors because of its number of state parks and scenic drives. Here are our recommendations for a fabulous fall getaway:
