Our county is home to some of the most amazing artists! 😍 What a beautiful quilted art design of Weathington Park. We love seeing the beauty of Jackson County captured in such a unique way!

And the timing couldn’t be better! Scottsboro Three Arts Club’s Art Sunday is just a few weeks away on Sunday, September 6. This piece, along with so many other beautiful works from talented artists, will be available for purchase.

Come out, support local artists, and maybe take home a little piece of Jackson County! ❤️

I was finally able to get back to my Weathington Park quilt. I removed the quilting from the top 5 inches of the sky and requilted it. There was some puckering in the quilting. I added two eagles as they are often seen soaring on the air currents. I hope this will find a good home soon. Look for it at Art Sunday - I will be there with one, my animal series and more.

🥾 The Walls of Jericho is getting some well deserved attention from AAA!

AAA recently featured Jackson County’s Walls of Jericho Trail among Alabama’s unique trails, calling it the most challenging hike on their list and describing the destination as “The Grand Canyon of the South.” ⛰️

Starting in Jackson County just south of the Tennessee and Alabama state line, the trail descends more than 1,000 feet into a beautiful box canyon surrounded by some of the largest stretches of untouched wilderness in the Southeast.

Hikers make their way through 3.5 miles of rugged terrain, creek crossings and incredible scenery before reaching the Walls of Jericho, a towering limestone amphitheater where the Cumberland Plateau reaches into Alabama. Depending on the season, you may even be rewarded with a beautiful waterfall and crystal clear pools.

Of course, getting there is only half the adventure! 😉 That climb back to the trailhead is one you won’t soon forget.

If you’re looking for a trail that’s challenging, beautiful and completely worth the effort, put the Walls of Jericho on your Jackson County adventure list.

👏 Thank you, AAA, for shining a spotlight on this incredible corner of Alabama!
