Pell City splits the distance between Birmingham and the Gadsden ridges, so its fifteen falls fan out in both directions along the I-20 corridor. Noccalula Falls is the headliner, 90 feet at Gadsden with a 1.4-mile loop beneath it. Peavine Falls, west at Oak Mountain, gives twenty feet after 1.6 miles and 200 feet of gain. Great Falls and Rendalia Water Falls each need only half a mile, and Short Creek Falls barely asks a tenth. Dogs do well on this list.
