Itinerary: | |||||||
Sorry, pictires are from the last June event. I will take some so that next year I will have winter pictures. Hope you’ll join me for a wonderful adventure on the Chinnabee Silent Trail in the beautiful Talladega National Forest. We'll leave from the carpool locations promptly at 7:00 AM and drive to the Cheaha State Park Headquarters. We'll take a quick bathroom break there and also use it as a meeting point for anyone who may not be meeting at the carpool location. From there it is just a short drive to the trailhead parking lot. *The trailhead is located approx 3 miles south of the park headquarters on the left. The trailhead we are using is directly across the road, NOT the one by the parking lot*. This will be an "in and out" hike of around 10 miles total distance. The trail is named for Creek Indian Chief Chinnabee, an ally of Andrew Jackson during the Creek War. The designation of “Silent Trail” comes from the trail’s builders. Between 1973 and 1976, Boy Scout Troop 29 from the Alabama Institute for the Deaf and Blind created the trail with the help of the USDA Forest Service. The hike is considered by many to be one of the most enjoyable in the state. * If you are meeting us at the event, we'll see you at 8:15 Central time at the Cheaha State Park Headquarters.
