OUR STORY
A boy meets a girl...
Alexa and Joe ended up on the same spring break trip to Red River, New Mexico to ski. (Apparently, Joe and Alexa met twice before this. Alexa does not remember, but there are pictures to prove it.) Alexa hung around the boys for an extra day on the slopes after all the girls quit skiing. She lost the boys while on a tree run and ended up injuring her knee. With her newly swollen knee, her friends were kind enough to let her ride shotgun in Joe's suburban on the 14 hour trip back to Arkansas. Joe and Alexa talked for the entire trip home to campus. They have been laughing, sharing stories, and growing up together (for the most part ;)) ever since.

TO-DOs,
LODGING
&
TRANSPORTATION
Huntsville is known to have gorgeous hiking trails - Monte Sano State Park and Cecil Ashburn Look Out & Trail are two of our favorites. Lowe Mill Arts & Entertainment houses everything from art studios, to food and drinks, live music and farmers markets. The downtown square and surrounding blocks in Huntsville has tons of food, coffee, and little shops. It also sits next to several parks and museums. We enjoy Big Spring Park the most.
If flying, there is an airport in Huntsville that supports United, Delta, and American Airlines. For broader flight options, Birmingham and Nashville are around 2 hours away from Gurley.
There will be a hotel block at the closest hotel to the mountain - Hampton Inn & Suites at Huntsville Hampton Cove (roughly 20 minutes away). Many booking sites have reserved rooms across Huntsville, making hotels appear to be sold out. Good news is, they are not. You can find additional hotel availability at the link below if our block is full.
