Try Oak Mountain State Park near Birmingham - about an hour from Tuscaloosa. The Blue Trail to King’s Chair overlook is a nice hike. It’s not Colorado, but the tail end of the Appalachians are pretty in October. Mountain biking in this park is awesome. Closer to Tuscaloosa, Lake Lurleen State Park is ok, but Oak Mountain is much better for hiking.
