The highway does a wobble through the mountains here, which makes for a nice stop to get your bearings and enjoy some nature for a bit. And then back onto the roads.

There are picnic tables and even a spot to walk your dog, which is a nice bonus on a long drive.

Places to picnic and walk your fur babies. There is plenty of parking for various types of ground transportation.

Sorority Sisters and I stopped here yesterday and the Welcome Center building itself appears to be brand new! I don't recall it having the current configuration; however, it's been a while since I've been here. The interior was spotless! The man working the counter was extremely friendly, and the entire interior smelled fresh and clean! There was a large screen TV over the interior counter, and rows and rows of organized pamphlets, maps, brochures, etc. with maps on the walls. The bathroom was modern, again, *clean* and well stocked with lots of stalls for the ladies and ample countertop space. The exterior grounds were equally spotless. There were people walking their dogs along the sidewalks, an employee picking up trash, and numerous covered, wheelchair accessible concrete patio tables available. There is a really pretty section in the front with an American flag, other flags and monuments, we did not browse through. This is a really nice rest stop to get a snack, or a drink, pick up some regional information, ask the clerk any relevant questions, and I think you are allowed to leave a vehicle there up to four days, however, make sure you check their website about that.

It was a welcomed sight to see that a rest area was coming up. Pulling into here I could tell you that this was not going to be a normal rest stop. And I was not let down in that aspect. What I noticed most was that it was on a hill. However, it was somewhat flat once you got out of the parking lot. It is quite the busy rest stop and surprisingly clean on the inside. Especially the facility portion of the interior. This particular location has a outdoor pavilion of sorts that has multiple vending machines if you need a last minute drink or snack. Easy on and off of the Interstate.

In general, the rest areas are spaced out quite a bit during travels along the road. My visit here was on July 29, 2021. The main reason for stopping here was to take a quick restroom break along the way. When you come up to the main building, there are signs on the door noting that masks are required to be worn while inside, though pretty much everyone else ignored that altogether. Anyways, the restrooms were clean and well maintained, which has been the norm when visiting any Alabama rest area. Inside the building also includes the vending and such as well. On the outside, there is a good amount of outdoor space to walk around. There are some tables and such to sit down as well, both covered and uncovered. The green space is great since it does give lots of space to walk around and stretch the body before getting back on the road again. Overall, this is a really good rest area. Everything was well maintained and had no issues. Since these rest areas are far and few in between, I totally recommend stopping in to take a break here before continuing your northbound journey.
