Like many places of the gothic South, Lookout Mountain and DeKalb County are home to several ghost stories and strange sites that intrigue locals and visitors alike. While the spirits that haunt this area do not appear to hold sinister intentions, their stories add an air of mystery to the already secluded and tucked away areas on the mountain.

The fall season is perhaps the most magical time of year here in the northeast corner of Alabama. The already beautiful mountains reach an entirely new level of beauty when they shed their usual green appearance and embrace the warm autumn color tones.

While the views and scenes on Lookout Mountain draw in visitors year-round, the changing leaves against the Autumn sky are truly a wonder to behold. The lower temperatures, cool breezes, and changing leaves make Mentone and the surrounding area the perfect location to see the much anticipated colors of Fall.

Fall has officially arrived, but while we are waiting on Mother Nature to catch up, we can explore the area in another way…Just Junkin! Unique antiques and a Junkosaurus Wrecks will kick off this trip perfectly.

September is a perfect time to explore the region as one anticipates what is to come during the months of October and November where Nature presents a colorful palette of foliage spreading across the peaks and valleys of our rugged terrain.
