Looking for a hike, a round of golf or a concert? Pelham, Ala., is a great destination for you. The Birmingham suburb offers plenty of action in a small space.
Named after Maj. John Pelham, a Civil War hero, the town with about 20,000 people offers Oak Mountain State Park, the largest such park in all of Alabama. There, you will find plenty of outdoor activities for the bike lover, the hike lover or someone who just wants to sit back and watch a waterfall.
Or maybe you prefer to stay cool. If that’s the case, head down to the ice rink. Or maybe you want to see some of the best bands in the world shred. Check out the schedule at the amphitheater.
No matter what you like, Pelham is a great place to escape for a weekend.
