It's a beautiful spot to watch the sunset and golden hour with great views overlooking Birmingham. Parking is free, but admission was $8, which gives you access past the ticket booth and up to the tower for unobstructed views of the city. Just something to keep in mind: if you don't purchase admission, there really isn't much of a view accessible from the free area. I didn't visit the museum, as my main reason for coming was to catch the sunset. The viewing area isn't very large, and there happened to be a group of about 15-20 people there at the same time, so I had to maneuver around a bit to find a good spot for pictures and video. Still, the views were beautiful and worth the visit. This would also be a nice place to bring a sandwich or something small and enjoy a quick picnic while waiting for golden hour and sunset. Definitely a pretty Birmingham stop, especially if you enjoy city views and sunsets like I do

What a time we had! Just finished a girls night out with the Eat Drink Ride Food tours. It was soo…read moremuch fun and so worth the cost. We had a total of five stops to taste food, dessert and drinks. First stop was The Seafood King located in Lakeshore. We had a sample of the seafood basket which included shrimp, sausage, corn cob and a potato. Nice taste. Not over seasoned or under. Just right. It was a nice sample of some of the food they offer. Second stop was Jake's Soulfood in Hoover. We took a quick picture by Comedian Joys cutout then proceeded to sit for our food tasting. We had fried chicken, mac n cheese, cornbread and rice with beans. The chicken was cooked fresh and I personally would have liked a little more seasoning on the chicken but that's my preference. It was still good and so was the mac n cheese. This is when I started getting full. I did take the food I couldn't finish from Jake's home. Third stop was The Whole Scoop also located in Hoover. We were treated with a cone or bowl of ice cream (one scoop) of any flavor they had. The options were plenty. Our guide did advise us not to get vanilla, chocolate or strawberry because we can get those anytime. We needed to explore new flavors. I did... I got the dark chocolate raspberry truffle (I think that was the name). It was delicious and was a nice break from eating food. Yummy Then we traveled to Trussville and stopped at La Calle. We had tacos there. Nice spot and the tacos are authentic. They have a taco bar where you can additional toppings or get sauces. Our last stop was Corbeau Wine Bar. I have wanted to visit them for a while and now was my chance. We had a wine sample then had a quick tour of the wine bar concept. It's pretty amazing because you can sample as many wines as possible (for a fee and depending on the ounces). A great way to try before you commit to buying a full bottle of wine. The price points were reasonable. Overall a great fun experience with friends with cool music playing while we traveled. We danced some and sang along to a few songs. This is definitely an experience you should try.

I was so caught up having fun that I didn't take many pictures and videos. At midnight, we had a toast to the new year of 2022! I definitely recommend you give this tour bus a try!

Even with a shorter hike, we were still able to experience and enjoy the park and its trails. My favorite part was Cambrian Overlook. Even though I'm scared of heights, I knew I had to push myself to the edge of the cliff to take in the view--and I'm so glad I did. The scenery was absolutely gorgeous and worth every bit of bravery it took to snap a photo. If I find myself back in the area, I would definitely be open to returning and exploring more of what the park has to offer. It's a beautiful spot and a great option for hikers of all levels.
