Combining his love of hiking and writing, Joe has penned six outdoor recreation books including Hiking Alabama, Hiking the Gulf Coast, Hiking Through History Alabama, Best Dog Hikes Alabama, Paddling Alabama, and his latest, Hiking Waterfalls of Alabama. He has also authored a guide to camping in the state, Best Tent Camping Alabama.
