Fall is the perfect time to go out an explore nature because the weather is cooling down and it feels great to get out and explore! I happen to love caves and like to visit any cave that I can get to-- no matter where. Here is a list I compiled of ten of the best caves in the state of Alabama. I found a lot of my information from this website which also is great for exploring all different areas in your state at the click of a button.

1. Rattlesnake Saloon Cave-- Tuscumbia, AL


I have had the pleasure of visiting this restaurant/cave and I love it. If you ever get the chance, I suggest going!

2. Sauta Cave-- Scottsboro, AL

On summer nights, some 300,000 grey bats emerge from the cave-- as you can see pictured above.

3. Stephens Gap-- Woodville, AL

Simply incredible.

4. Tumbling Rock Cave-- Scottsboro, AL

This cave happens to be over six miles long!

5. Manitou Cave-- Fort Payne, AL

6. Russell Cave National Monument-- Bridgeport, AL

This cave happens to be the third longest mapped cave in Alabama.

7. Rickwood Caverns-- Warrior, AL

8. Desoto Caverns-- Childersburg, AL

This is my personal favorite because I went to this cave many times as a little kid. I think it is absolutely stunning.

9. Neversink Cave Preserve-- Jackson County, AL

This photo just shows how MASSIVE this cave is. Gorgeous.

10. Cathedral Caverns-- Grant, AL

Another one of my favorites because of how massive the opening to enter is. Once you get inside your tour guide turns off all the lights and shows you just how pitch black the inside of a cave is. Truly mesmerizing.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
