Seeing the world from behind a set of handlebars is something that is truly a unique experience for mountain bikers of all ages and skill levels. To hit the trail and develop those skills even more, Chickasabogue Park in Mobile is a favorite destination. This trail features ten miles of singletrack that loops through the park. It ranks as not only one of the most scenic recreational trails, but also one of the most challenging.

Mardi Gras in Mobile takes place over the course of two and a half weeks in February. The city has been recognized as the site of the first ever Mardi Gras celebration in 1703, well before it took place in New Orleans. To continue the tradition of those festivities that were established long ago, many locals and visitors make plans to enjoy the yearly Mardi Gras in Mobile. The festival attracts well over a million people who come to enjoy the parade, masks, the “throws” of beads, as well as all the tastes, sights and sounds that make this party one that should not be missed.

You can't be in Mobile and not be aware of its aquatic amenities. The Mobile River and its flow into the Gulf of Mexico makes fishing more than a sport here–it is a way of life. To get a better idea of how it feels to reel in the big one, let the professionals from Captain Mike Thierry's Deep Sea Fishing guide you through a memorable excursion. They provide the poles, tackle, and gear you'll need – and they bring along plenty of refreshments to make your angling experience the best catch of the day!
