Minutes from the beautiful Alabama Gulf Coast beaches is a trail system that seems far removed from the rest of the world and the bustling beach scene of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach: The Hugh S. Branyon Backcountry Trail. The Backcountry Trail gives visitors a chance to leave the world behind and meander down lanes lined with towering pines, scrub oak, palmetto, and thick, green deer moss. You’ll ride past shimmering freshwater lakes, coastal swamps and wetlands where cattails sway in the breeze. You’ll be surprised and amazed to spot white tail deer, bobcat, coyote, wild boar, otters, and yes, even alligators, as well as one of a hundred different species of birds including osprey, bald eagles, and heron. Yet it’s all very close to the beach destinations of the Alabama Gulf Coast.
