Itinerary:

This 9 mile loop starts in Cheaha State Park on the Cave Creek Trail, and then connects at Nubbin Creek Trail with the Pinhoti Trail in the Talladega National Forest for the return trip. There is a variety of flora, fauna, rock formations, and scenery. The first part of the loop is flat and rocky while the Pinhoti side of the loop has a couple of great overlooks. Parts of the hike cross a boulder field, so appropriate hiking boots and poles are highly recommended. We'll stop for lunch at one of the overlooks on the trail. Including driving time, this event will be about 7 hours.
