It is nicknamed as the “Gem of the Hills” because of several reasons, such as the moderate climate throughout the year and the spectacular view of the Appalachian Foothills. This means that Jacksonville vacations can be done anytime of the year. Another reason is the charming public square. It is the focal point from which travelers can see that the people are friendly, the neighborhoods are safe, and the whole city is health-conscious.

There are more than 200 acres of walking trails and parks that encourage both travelers and residents to engage in healthful physical activities, such as running, jogging, and biking. The famous 33-mile Chief Ladiga Trail also runs right through the city. Strolling along the Chief Ladiga Trail can be the highlight of the family vacation. Thus Jacksonville vacations may help visitors to establish their physical fitness routines. But a less obvious reason why Jacksonville is a gem is that it is conveniently located so that people will have easy access to golfing, fishing, camping, and other fun activities. There are many things to do in this city. Jacksonville is just minutes away from the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail, the Talladega National Forest, the Dugger and Cheaha Mountain National Wilderness Areas, and the Coosa River Basin.
