Join us for a guided hike to the entrance of Russell Cave, the third longest cave system in Alabama with over 11 miles. We will meet at 10 am at the visitor center. The hike is short about 45 minutes but off trail, so sturdy footwear, long pants, and optional walking sticks are recommended. Reservations are required! Limit to 20 people. To make a reservation call the park between 9:00am-4:00pm 7 days a week at (256) 495-2672 or email mark_crawford@nps.gov
