Bankhead National Forest & Sipsey Wilderness Resources
For several years I have scoured
the internet looking for good information on one of my favorite places on Earth,
the Sipsey Wilderness in the Bankhead National Forest of northwest Alabama. My
family enjoys hiking and camping in the Sipsey as often as we can. It seems that
information is hard to find so I decided to try to centralize the information &
links that I do locate. If you have any links, pictures, or files that you
would like to see linked or listed here, please e-mail the information to me at
BankheadSipsey@gmail.com and I will add them.
Please remember to leave nothing but your footprints &
pick up any garbage you find in the woods!
