A porch swing beneath the CCC stone tower offers a shady respite for hikers either at the start or at the end of their 335-mile Pinhoti Trail journey.
Appalachian Trail hikers may start their journey in Springer Mountain, Georgia, but geological purists know the Appalachian range really starts in Alabama — specifically, Flagg Mountain in Coosa County, the southernmost peak in the state rising over 1,000 feet.
Hikers can take the Pinhoti Trail from its southern terminus at Flagg Mountain all the way to the southern terminus of the Appalachian Trail in Georgia.
Thanks to efforts by the Alabama Trails Foundation and Alabama Forestry Commission, hikers will be able to get above the tree line and enjoy a 360-degree view of central Alabama.
