The Land Time Forgot! Seriously!, I find myself traveling to Dismals Canyon in Northwest Alabama!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dismals Canyon is a federally designated National Natural Landmark. According to their website: Dismals Canyon &#8211; located in Northwest Alabama &#8211; is an 85 acre (34 ha) Nature Conservatory privately owned and operated. It is not a State Park or National Park. However, it was designated a &#8220;National Natural Landmark&#8221; in 1975 by the National Natural Landmarks Program. NNLs are administered by the National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Solo Hiking in the Dismals Canyon proved to be a wonderful micro-adventure. The Dismals Canyon floor is known for its fauna, massive rock walls, waterfalls and it&#8217;s beautiful creek that runs beside the entire trail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Solo Hiking Dismals Canyon will take you as long as you&#8217;d like but is only 1 1\/2 miles long. But there is sooooo much to see in Dismals Canyon that it will take longer than your typical solo hike might.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dismals Canyon is also known for it&#8217;s glow worms! That&#8217;s right, worms that glow at night. In fact, Dismals Canyon offers nighttime hikes just to see the worms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you enjoy solo hiking or hiking in general, Dismals Canyon is a must do hike. It&#8217;s cool on the Canyon floor but can also be dark if the sun isn&#8217;t out, so be aware if you plan to take a lot of pictures or video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This Micro-Adventure, Solo Hiking Ep-6 &#8211; Dismals Canyon 2! The Land Time Forgot! Seriously! was one of my micro-adventure highlights and might very well become one of yours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Click here and join me on another solo hiking micro adventure in Dismals Canyon!
