Cane Creek Canyon Preserve

Privately owned 700 acre parcel with 25 miles of hiking trails, waterfalls, canyons and views. It was transferred to a land trust last year. We talked to one of the employees who have us the history. There have been fossils of a saber tooth tiger and giant sloth found here along with a sharks tooth. The property was owned and developed by two scientists/geologists. Only open Friday-Sundays and it's free. This was one of those things I just randomly saw on Google maps and said "let's see what this is!". We both enjoyed it although it was a hard hike for me. I'm still not feeling back to normal since the stomach thing, which I'm still worried about. We also venture into muscle shoals, tuscambia and Florence AL for a look around, lunch at Sweet Peppers deli, a DD and some groceries at Wal Mart and Aldi. I liked Florence a lot from what I saw. I guess I'm looking for a place that has stores and restaurants and things to do!Read more
