Month by month, join us for 24 hikes in 2024!
#Hike24in24AL is an Alabama State Parks environmental education initiative encouraging people to get outside and enjoy outdoor recreation experiences from Alabama’s deepest caverns to the highest mountains all the way to the white sandy beaches of the Gulf Coast.
Our interpretive hike schedule for the year includes hikes led by knowledgeable state park staff and volunteers. Each hike varies in distance and rigor, and all hikes are fun, engaging experiences for participants. Whether you are an individual, group, or family, we invite you to savor the beauty of Alabama's natural resources with our experienced guides leading the way.
Hiking improves mental, emotional, and physical health with movement and connection. With two hiking opportunities per month, participants can easily meet the #Hike24in24AL challenge while seeing our great state. Map out your favorite hikes below and join us!
