The northern region of Alabama is mainly mountainous, with the Tennessee River cutting a valley through the area. The region provides for some spellbinding landscape including lakes, waterfalls, caverns and tree-crested mountaintops.

The rest of the state is mainly a gentle plain that descends towards the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico. The state ranges from sea level at Mobile Bay to over 1,800 feet (550 m) in the Appalachian Mountains in the northeast, with the highest point being Cheaha Mountains at 2,407 feet (733 m).
