Welcome to Lookout Mountain Alabama, where Mother Nature has set the stage for a spectacular Autumn season! Autumn mountain breezes whisper through the trees in September, inviting you to sit a spell and enjoy the change in seasons. A hint of color usually begins to appear in early October and lasts well into mid-November. Check out the current fall foliage and plan to join us for a day, or better yet, overnight! Travel our 93-mile scenic Lookout Mountain Parkway, Highway 75 on Sand Mountain and U.S. Highway 11 in the valley of these two mountain ranges for some of the prettiest scenery in the country.

May we suggest a scenic drive??

Get lost in the mountains of Northeast Alabama. Really! Come travel some of DeKalb County's 778 square miles and you will want to lose yourself in the rugged beauty of the land. The mountains lend to the landscape of rolling hills, rural farmland, country roads, picturesque valleys, pristine waterfalls, canyons, lakes and rivers.

Let our staff help you plan a travel itinerary to the best places on Lookout Mountain and throughout DeKalb County so you can take in all the fall color. Whether you want to ride, hike, bike or take a leisurely walk through the woods, we have the perfect suggestion that will make you glad you spent time during the Autumn Season of 2007 in Lookout Mountain Alabama!

Come See...Just for the Fun of It!
