Monte Sano State Park, Alabama

Itching to get outside for the weekend? Pick your pleasure at Monte Sano State Park. In Spanish this translates to “Mountain of Health” and there’s a reason for the name. You’ll find mineral springs that may just cure what ails you, plus an abundance of fresh air, spectacular views, and good feelings all around. Spend your days hiking, biking, playing disc golf, or just kicking back. In spring, summer, and fall, Jazz in the Park is a great end to many a weekend evening, where you can sit back under the stars and jam to the beat of local talent. A beautiful campground, rustic cabins, and an event lodge mean you can go primitive or posh and still live it up in the woods.
