Sometimes the beauty in #bankheadnationalforest is in a scene happened-upon - subtle, quiet, hidden, yet glorious. Plan a hiking trip into the deep woods this year. Rainy season brings lively waterfalls that beckon visitors, but also look for the less chased magic in every little thing. 〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️ “A rocky stream flows beneath the hemlock trees in Bankhead National Forest” - 📷 @kozdok 〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️ #landofathousandwaterfalls #smithlakethingstodo #smithlakearea #sipseywilderness #smithlakedaytrips #hiking #outdoors #alabama #alabamalife #smithlakecommunity #lakeside #lewissmithlake #livelifelakeside #visitsmithlake #smithlake #smithlakealabama #smithlakeal #smithlakemagazine #thelakesidelifemagazine #thelakesidelife (at Bankhead National Forest) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn4g8HYr6Nu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A precious local family enjoyed a day @avemariagrotto - get in a visit to Cullman before Christmas decor is gone - there is lots to see and do! - 📷 @emeraldcove_smithlake <~~~FOLLOW & BOOK this local luxury rental home. 〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️ “We absolutely loved getting to see the holiday lights at @avemariagrotto last night! Highly recommend a visit to those in the area while they are still up (or a visit any time of the year, as our girls were fascinated by the “tiny village” 🥰). We also made a quick stop in Cullman to visit the Christmas Pyramid. Soaking up these last few days of the Christmas break! 🎄❄️” - @emeraldcove_smithlake 〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️ #avemariagrotto #cullmanal #cullmanalabama #smithlakearea #smithlakethingstodo #lake #lakelife #alabama #alabamalakes #smithlakecommunity #smithlakesocial #lakeside #lewissmithlake #livelifelakeside #visitsmithlake #smithlake #smithlakealabama #smithlakeal #smithlakemagazine #thelakesidelifemagazine #thelakesidelife (at Cullman, Alabama) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmvWePLMukO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
