Overview

This guide is designed to help you retrace our steps through two of Alabama's most incredible off-road destinations: Talladega National Forest and Little River Canyon. We've dialed in a route that hits the best trails, most stunning scenery, and top-tier campsites — all packed into a four-day trip.

Trip Structure:

• Day 1 — Travel day & arrive at camp (Night 1)
• Days 2–3 — Two full days on the trail
• Day 4 — Travel day home

Travel time will vary depending on how far you're coming from.

The Route

We run this route south to north — and for good reason. It flows naturally, builds momentum, and saves the best campsite for last. Trust the process.

⚠️ Know Before You Go: Little River Canyon Rules

Little River Canyon is a federally protected national preserve, and it's patrolled by federal park rangers who take the rules seriously. You should too.

No more than 8 rigs may ride together without a permit.

Plan your group size accordingly and secure a permit in advance if you're rolling with a larger crew. This isn't a suggestion — it's federal regulation.

Use this guide alongside the trip video for the full picture. See you on the trail!
