Grace's High Falls is officially the tallest waterfall in the state of Alabama inside Little River Canyon National Preserve but the water flow is pretty seasonal. On the plus side,
it's close to must-see Little River Falls and DeSoto Falls.

As a large family, we find renting a home for a night much more relaxing than a hotel, and it's so nice to have a place nearby to crash after a long day of hiking! You can find nice, affordable homes on Vrbo.

Grace's High Falls is a nice stop on your day trip through Little River Canyon National Preserve. If you're driving through the canyon, you can stop at the overlook across from the falls on Canyon Rim Drive and is an easy stop for kids and dogs alike. A hike into the canyon at the base of the falls is not for the faint of heart! This is a really cool area to explore, and you may want to consider some of the nearby cabins to enjoy a relaxing weekend in the area.

Your trip to DeSoto Falls and Little River Canyon could easily turn into a multi-day trip of hikes and waterfalls. Nearby DeSoto State Park is home to several falls, and Little River Canyon National Preserve connects to it and continues south with multiple large falls to see such as Little River Falls just off of Highway 35.
