A scenic view of Memphis

Dismals Canyon Conservatory is a beautiful national natural landmark located in northwest Alabama, about a three-hour drive from Memphis. The conservatory keeps its campsites widely spaced out and remote, and none of the sites are directly accessible by car, so be prepared to hike.
