Using the Guides

There are three aspects that I think make my reviews different from others (in many cases there are no others but I provide links to others when I find them). First, I provide ratings on each section of trail. Second, I actively recruit and integrate the experiences of other users into the guide. And finally, with your help I work to provide you with up to date trail maintenance information.

Understanding my ratings.

Trail Feedback. Help make this an interactive site by providing your trail reviews, maintenance reports, and comments to help me make this a better site. Feedback is posted on the individual trail pages.

General trail maintenance reports. A general overview of how well each trail is maintained.

Bulletin Board.  A bulletin board where I add quick updates and reports and which makes it even easier for YOU to post trail maintenance reports, trip reports, trail advice, and find hiking partners.

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."
