The Pinhoti Trail
A Southeast Region Appalachian Trail Connector
Shuttle Providers
Hiking Options
Loop Trail Hikes:
The Pinhoti Trail itself is a 325 mile point to point hiking trail, but in the
Cheaha Wilderness, in Section 7, there is an extensive loop trail system
that includes the Pinhoti and 6 side trails which allow you to form a variety
of loops that range from 2 mile day hikes to 30 mile multi day hikes. The Dugger
Wilderness, in Section 2, also has a loop trail that uses the Pinhoti and Jones
Branch Road to make a 6 mile hike. The advantage of a loop hike is that you or
your group can travel to the trail in just 1 vehicle.
Out and Back Hikes:
This type of hike involves parking 1 vehicle at a trailhead or road crossing and hiking in any
distance you choose, then returning to your vehicle the same way you came in.
Point to Point Hikes with Self Shuttle:
You will need to bring 2 vehicles if you want to hike from point A to point B. First, park 1
vehicle where you want to finish your hike and then drive the other vehicle to where you
want to start your hike. When your hike ends at your finish vehicle, drive around and pick
up your start vehicle.
Point to Point Hikes with Hired Shuttle:
If you want to hike from point A to point B but bring only 1 vehicle to the trail, you can
make arrangements with someone to pick you up at your finish point, where you will leave
your vehicle, and drive you around to your starting point.
Shuttle Providers
The PTA will keep a listing of known shuttle service providers along the length of the
entire Trail. Through this listing you can access any part of the trail from the Birmingham
or Anniston airports, bus stations and rail terminals, and get a ride back again. It also
works for people who want to avoid bringing two cars out to the trail.
If someone is interested in providing shuttles, you may contact the PTA and your name
and contact info will be added to the list.
The people on this list are individuals who shuttle on their time off. Arrangements are
best made at least a week or two in advance.
You can also contact the Cheaha State Park Country Store at (256) 488-5115. They do
not keep a list, but there is always an off chance that they may know someone who would
be willing to give you a ride.
Here is a list of shuttle providers available as of 6-1-11:
Pinhoti Trailhead Shuttle now offers service to all Alabama Pinhoti Trailheads. Some
folks volunteer their time and effort to maintain the trail. Consider us as the friend
you would ask to either drop you off or pick you up at the trailhead as you start or
finish your hike.
