Why travel to Alabama?

Alabama features some of the most awe-inspiring scenery in the United States. Visitors can explore the 90-foot waterfall at Noccalula Falls Park, with a trail that runs through the Black Creek Gorge; or Cheaha State Park’s 2,800 acres of forests and rivers, all the way up to Alabama's highest point, Cheaha Mountain. Or you could head south to the brilliant white beaches of the Gulf of Mexico, which offer 60 miles of beautiful sand and sun that skirt the southern border.

But Alabama is far more than just a sightseer's dream. It is also a landmark in the space industry. The northern city of Huntsville is known as "Rocket City USA" and houses the United States Space and Rocket Center, the world's largest space flight museum. The first rocket to land a man on the moon was built in Huntsville and the museum features spacecraft and interactive exhibits documenting our history as a space-faring species.

The Yellowhammer State is rich in history and culture, with much to offer students of the American Civil Rights Movement. Home to Martin Luther King Jr.’s church, capital city Montgomery is also where activist Rosa Parks made civil rights history and her legacy is honored in the Rosa Parks Museum. Another integral part of Alabama culture is its finger-lickin’ BBQ cuisine. There are BBQ joints all across the state, each with their own philosophy on how to grill a pig.
