Before you Hike

Before you check out the trails, take a minute to read about what to bring and what to watch out for when hiking in Alabama. I am also including a page with hunting season dates on it that I will try to keep updated every year. This can be very important information.  Finally, a page of trail maps and navigational aids for the technogeeks are also included.

This site is brought to you by the Alabama Hiking Trail Society, dedicated to completing the Eastern Continental Trail and increasing hiking opportunities in Alabama.  We hope you find the information useful and will consider supporting the AHTS.  Before you leave please visit the AHTS web page to learn more about us and the work we do.

Please help make this site interactive by providing your feedback and updates on the trails and signing the guestbook.  The guestbook and discussion board can be found under "Trail Talk."
