- My first hike in Alabama was in Cheaha State Park within the Talladega national Forest. I hiked along the Cave Creek Trail to the Pinhoti Trail. A loop trail that goes just over 7 miles. ---

Have you visited Alabama? What is your favorite place in the Southeast?
Never been to Alabama. I spent a couple of days in Gulfport Mississippi, the Gulf Coast is really nice!
We’ve lived in Alabama for several years now. We like it. Gulf Shores, AL is a favorite of ours.
ridge304 I’ve heard so many good things about Gulf Shores
You should check out bank head forrest there are alot of beautiful trails
Does at age 17months count ?
I don't remember much
Really dope video ! Thank you for sharing your vacation i can’t wait to get there soon!
Little river canyon mouth park, bucks pocket. Beautiful
Welcome to the trails of Alabama's Talladega National Forest! Nice video work. Loved your take on the Alabama woods! Not quite the Smokies or the Rockies for us Alabamians but our national forests will do in a pinch. For us pilots, that crash site is a reminder of how the terrain can be unforgiving.
Great video
Great video! I hike on those same trails all the time. They don't call it Alabama The Beautiful for nothing. New follower here. Happy Hiking! Crow
That’s awesome! It’s so pretty in there. I just loved it
Love that place!
Wow I want to go and never been to Alabama but I heard the song 👌 nice video
Thank you. I love this video it was such an unexpected beauty
The views are spectacular. Great stuff thanks for sharing
I hiked the Pinhoti trail a few years ago and its a very nice trail.
Muscadines very good grapes , they make the best jelly!
I stomped the muscadines as a child too many times to count for homemade wine. Of course I didn’t get any :(
Nice, our family comes here every spring to the in-laws.
You have to go to northeast Alabama and hike up through little river canyon..
Just made it back from a weekend trip to Cheaha and Little River Canyon. Great views on Cheaha and nice trails as well. Little River Canyon was amazing as well but the trails were a bit more challenging.
That’s great. I’m not sure when I’ll be back out that way but I’ll add it to the list
Glad you visited Alabama... my backpacking proving ground where I refined backcountry skills.
There are 2 great multi-tiered forest waterfalls that were within a 10 min drive of where you were - High Falls & Cheaha Falls.
Maybe next time when you’re passing through Bama.
Great video... enjoyed watching!
JBH
Awesome I’ll try to get back out there
Those are wild muscadines. Delicious to eat. We have always grabbed a few while deer hunting in the fall
I’ve had the muscadine wine but didn’t know which ones they were in the wild. Thanks for sharing
Great video! Did you use a drone?
We've been really wanting to do some hiking out in Alabama! Looks beautiful. Thanks for sharing
An Adventure with Nick & Rachel You’re so welcome. This National Forest has a ton of trails.
@@AliceFordAdventures awesome! Can't wait to get out there and get some footage for our Channel
What a great hike! This is a beautiful area! I haven’t been there in years! We didn’t do much hiking either so next time!
The knock knock joke should go among the greatest moments of Alice Ford's videos compilation!
Thank you for being the first to comment on it hahah
@@AliceFordAdventures You're certainly welcome! Hiking may result in funny stuffs!
That was my favorite part too.
The most pretty thing in life hiking 🧚🏻♀️ felling free 🧡
This popped up after I watched stories of Adam Simjee and his girlfriend were robbed and shot at this Forest. How awful for such a tragic event to happen in such a beautiful place! RIP Adam 💔
How terrible. Sadly our National Forests and wilderness areas especially in Appalachia seem to have harbored many criminals over the years. This Forest certainly gave me the creeps
Some say this is the location of the "Meadows Project". Pinhoti trail in particular. Area of high strangeness at night. Be forewarned and highly prepared. Never travel alone.
I probably would never camp out here the hike gave me the hebegeebees for sure
Those grapes are muscadines tough skin but so flavorful! Like concord grapes but 10x the flavor! Nice video. We lived in Alabama for 15yrs and loved living there. Tuscaloosa area was beautiful with lakes and hardwood trees in our area! The sourwood trees are beautiful in the fall. Thanks
That makes sense, the wine of Georgia is made of Muscadine grapes. Not my favorite wine but I'm sure the grapes are delicious. Thanks for watching
Enjoyed the video! I’m going out there tomorrow to check out some waterfalls! It’s only an hour away from me! You got a new subscriber!
Yay have an awesome time!!!
@@AliceFordAdventures it was a good one! Went to high Falls and Cheaha falls! Will be on my channel this Thursday!🙂
Gosh, this makes me miss going on a hike. Great video!
Time to get back on the trail then. Thanks for watching
Love all your nature shots, so pretty! The trail looks super scenic. I need to visit some day!
Thank you so much.
Can't wait to travel there.
I think it's a myth that daddy long legs are venomous, which is good because they are everywhere in the South. FYI, I love your travel videos!!!
OH HAHA I was told my whole life that they are super venomous, we had the all over growing up too. I actually just googled it and turns out a lot of the ones we think are daddy long legs aren't even spiders. But the Cellar Spider which is the real spider daddy long leg, ills brown recluse and black widow so a long time ago people assumed they must be really spider and dubbed them so. Thanks so much for watching
Many gorgeous places to hike and camp in Alabama. If you make it back, try desoto state park. Several waterfalls in the park, desoto falls is close and you're a few miles to little river canyon. Many miles of epic and difficult trails to challenge anyone. Best bang for the buck for hiking around here.
Awesome thanks for the recommendation.
Another great video! Thanks for sharing your adventure. Keep up the awesome videos! Cheers
Thanks so much Metro on the Move
@@AliceFordAdventures Anytime my friend! Cheers!
Nice work with this Alice
Thank you 🙏 for watching
I'm always amazed with how much gear you carry and able to keep up with the filming on these hikes. I'm a terrible hiker, so I'm already dying 1/2 a mile in and don't feel like filming anymore😂 Can't believe it's fall already... I live in Florida, so I don't feel like it's fall until December is so. Good tip on the wide brim hat for the spider webs!
I certainly like to be overly prepared, since I hike solo. Fall in Florida sure does come late :)
Amazing hiking vlog, beautiful jungle view, love the wild beauty of jungles and the view from top is just superb ❤️beautiful share
Thank you. It sure is beautiful
Amazing place. Love the editing
Thank you Cristian, I am really working on upping my editing in every new video
Oh man, you are going to have to go back when the fall colors really start popping!
You might as well hike the Alabama highpoint while you are in the area! I live at 4,800', haha gotta love those southeastern "mountains"!
Nevada Hiker Haha I know totally. I had to race to get back but I know I was right near the high point. I heard you can only drive to it? Not hike it.
0:11,amazing view of jungle. 2:45,beware of algae please, it can be really slippery. It was fun to watch. Keep up the good work. 👍
Gonna be hiking there tomorrow!
Awesome! Have a great time
Great video! Brings back good memories of hiking and camping around Mt. Cheaha. If you are ever around Gulf Shores be sure to check out Bon Secour refuge and the state park there. Thanks for sharing!
ridge304 Amazing I sure will. The campsites all looked so awesome in this park I’ll definitely be back
Gulf shores is our hidden gem❤❤
Amazing video I never been there hopefully in the near future, will be in the Smokey Mountains at the end of October so definitely will check your video thanks for sharing.
Awesome! Have a great time in the Smokies.
Wild grapes + fresh running creek water = time to start making forest wine! haha ;)
Sounds like a great idea
Good thing you didnt visit the Duncanville Section.
Hi Alice I have a suggestion for you. If you are ever in Eastern Ky you might want to check out Red River Gorge. Spectacular views. Great place to back pack. I think fall and winter are best times .I grew up next to RRG so I spent a lot of time there. About 50 or so miles east of Lexington on the Mountain Park Way.
Thanks so much Jack. If I get a long weekend off from work I will head out that way.
Subscribing. Great videos. My passion is hiking Yosemite. Look forward to watching more of your adventures, Alice.
Thank you so much for subscribing!! Yosemite is awesome. I did a bit of it in an older video on California Road tripping. Check it out if you get a chance
@@AliceFordAdventures I sure will. Thanks, Alice.
Going to Talledega for the race this coing weekend 4/2023 are their any shorter hikes where spefically is this at
A pretty short hike near Talladega is out to Salt Creek Falls. The National Forest where this hike is isn’t too far but it might be a bit round about from Talladega. The Cheaha state park is where this trail is though and there are lots of other hikes in the area too
Looks like a beautiful spot to go for a hike. Was your bag full of hiking essentials or filming gear? Great views from the top - and crazy that they just left the plane wreckage there.
My bag sure was full of hiking and camera essentials. Water bladder, cameras and some extra layers. Crazy there is actually a few plane wrecks in this area and since its miles from the road I think it would have been really hard to remove.
Don't know but it just scares me going to Alabama. Its a place I'd never visit
I don't know why, we have a lot of beautiful areas, including Gulf Shores, it's our hidden gem ❤
I’ve been there at plane site.
John Larkin Burns Thats awesome. So interesting when I looked up more info about it, turns out quite a few planes have crashed in this area and within the Talladega National Forest
My wife an I have been planning to hike the 130 mile trail but don’t know where it ends at if you think it could be dune in two days?
Hi Patrick. It's not just one trail that is 130 miles long, there are several trails that connect giving 130 miles of trail in total. If you want to do an overnight you could do the Skyway Loop trail which is about 17 miles. Here are some other options too www.alltrails.com/parks/us/alabama/talladega-national-forest
Wow, the views from the top are insane! I'm so keen to get out there again soon! Hiking is addictive!
Delphine LesterLost It sure Delphine. I certainly enjoy all your Australian walks though
Is the hike suitable for an overnight with my teenage daughters or can someone list an alternative for the area.
Yes actually this area is great for an overnight camping trip. I saw many boyscouts out on the trail when I did it. There are a lot of camp sites and I believe you can camp along most of the route as well.
@@AliceFordAdventures Awesome! Thanks so much for sharing your travels and knowledge with the outdoor community.
N yes, we have a real canyon in northeast Alabama, lol
did you see any cairns?
I don’t remember I’m sure there were some
@@AliceFordAdventures thats scary
@@kz6713 I guess I am not sure why that is scary. Cairns are usually only used in rocky environments without trees. There was plenty of signage on this trail, as well as marked tres and an easy path to follow.
@@AliceFordAdventures Ive seen something wierd at an area with a three cairns next to each other. Im going back right now to see how the trees have bloomed . I live near Atlanta Georgia the forests look spectacular right now
@@kz6713 Keep me posted. I really wish people would stop building cairns in places they shouldn't be. Its confusing for hikers
You didn't go in the summer lol
?
Well of course because I am from Mobile and have also lived in Tuscaloosa and Trussville. What in God’s name took you to Alabama?! Oh, and it’s pronounced Chee-hah, don’t pronounce the A. Did you have some sweet tea and yell Roll Tide?
I knew I was pronouncing it wrong haha. I am working in Atlanta for a bit and this is only 90 minutes. Plus I have to hike the tallest mountain in every state. :)
@@AliceFordAdventures well glad you got to see some of Alabama and checked that one off the list. So if you are hiking the tallest in each state when are you doing Mt Rainier?
Kisses 💖💖
