Recommendation Needed! Looking for good trails between Atlanta GA and Birmingham AL

[WLMiller54]

Thanks for the response guys. Back to the books and trail maps.

It's actually over 300, between both states.

I've thru-hiked the Pinhoti. If you have specific questions, just ask.

The only loop hikes you'll put together would be in the Cheaha area. But, I'd take two vehicles instead, and hike a Pinhoti section. Sections 6 and 7 might suit you. Link

I think some of the better trail is elsewhere, but won't have the views this time of year due to tree cover.

Anyone have GPS coordinates for the Pinhoti section 6 & 7 trails?

I don't, but you can probably pull them from the trailhead locations on Google Earth for each section.

The section descriptions and trailhead driving directions at the link above are quite close.

Thanks Shnick. I am just surprised these are not GPS Corded yet.

These are old, but a good start:

Pinhoti Trail GPS Tracks

The same guy (Parkay) put the trail on topo maps and made elevation profiles. He's done it for quite a few trails.

His website is http://parkaymaps.110mb.com/.

His site is a great resource to keep bookmarked.

Another awesome place that is a little further drive from Birmingham, but around the same from Atlanta is the South Cumberland Recreation (now State Park) up in Tennessee. Miles of trails, loops, no loops, elevation or consistancy...
