8 days in Birmingham Itinerary

Get some cultural insight at Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum and Vulcan Park and Museum. Step out of the city life by going to Harmony Park Safari and Cathedral Caverns State Park. Get out of town with these interesting Birmingham side-trips: Easley Covered Bridge (in Oneonta), Dismals Canyon (in Haleyville) and Huntsville (U.S. Space and Rocket Center, Madison County Nature Trail-Green Mountain, &more). There's still lots to do: push the limits with Sims Cave Park, browse the exhibits of McWane Science Center, identify plant and animal life at Ruffner Mountain, and walk around Little River Canyon National Preserve.
