This worldwide acclaimed hiking trail extends 171 miles along the highland "spine" of Alabama, from Flagg Mountain in Coosa County to Indian Mountain in Cherokee County before entering Georgia where it ultimately connects to the Appalachian Trail. The Pinhoti Trail is also part of the 5,400 mile Eastern Continental Trail from Florida to Newfoundland, and the 1,800 mile Great Eastern Trail that runs west of the Appalachian Trail from Alabama to New York.
