HMTC Activities
The Horn Mountain Trail Club "Adopt a Trail" members spend quality time every September and June clearing their adopted 2 miles on Section 4 (9) of the Pinhoti Trail. The dates for these work trips are chosen by the individual members at their convenience and are either solo trips or with friends.
Also from September until June, the HMTC meets as a group to work on community projects in Section 4 and these gatherings occur on the 2nd Saturday of each of these months.
We meet at the Porter's Gap Trailhead at 9am. The trailhead is 8.9 miles east of Talladega on AL 77. Look for the USFS parking area on the left, just past the 55 mile marker.
Bring a day pack with work gloves, rain gear, long sleeve synthetic shirt, any other warm clothing you may need and a garbage bag to keep it all dry. Also pack a lunch, snacks and plenty of water. If you have a pair of loppers (brush cutting) or a small digging tool (rock removal), then bring those along too.
Membership is not required to participate, so if you've got some spare time, come on out and spend a day in the woods with us!
