Secrets of Rainbow Mountain, Madison, Alabama 

Such interesting info here, the geology, history and archeology, and lovely videos. Thanks so much for posting. Yet another beautiful place in my County that I've not seen yet.

Thank you Bill! I am very fond of (anchored to?) the Rainbow Mountain area. We've lived at the base of the mountain for 35 years. Our kids grew up hiking its trails. I've been working with friends to publicize the history, beauty, and increasing importance of this mountain to our rapidly growing Madison-area community. Bill Heslip is a long-time Huntsville native and accomplished videographer who has been documenting the area’s wonderful historical and natural areas for decades. Thanks to Bill and our experts for meticulously creating this delightful time-travel tour of the history of the mountain.

This is wonderful!

Thanks for making this, Mike Botts! And the other guys too.

Absolutely love Rainbow Mountain. I spend a lot of time running on the trails. Thank you so much for this video. Very well done.

I grew up around here and didn’t know any of this! Thanks for the information.

Thank you for making this! We live at the base of the mountain and find coral all the time when working on projects in the yard. Can’t wait to show the kids this.

That’s really cool! I’ve actually wondered about some of these things while hiking the trails.

Now I HAVE to go hiking on Rainbow Mountain.

nice work!

It's a treasure! Thank you for documenting ❤️

I like your channel is the best in the world 🌎🌎

Cool video

My home is further northeast of Rainbow Mt., up by the quarries just off Stringfield Rd. The hill I’m on is about 800’ above sea level, and I have many of the same limestone and sandstone - plus what I think is chalk - formations. I have been wondering for about 20 years what those oddly pockmarked rocks were, that I see scattered around in my area. Now I’m certain that they are remnants of those coral fossils, as shown on the video. This was a delightful and educational video.

Very interesting!

So the Clift's paid about $20 for their land in Madison?

Huh.

Leans on the balance stone and it falls 😂😂.

Interesting video! I did not know Madison had history. I thought Madison only had small suburbs, no culture, and lower middle class civilians
