Trail Signs
During the months of January and February, 2010, appx. 50 trail info signs have been placed on the trail. These signs were furnished by the USFS - Shoal Creek Ranger District of the Talladega National Forest.
The area covered is the northern half of Alabama's side of the Pinhoti Trail in the Talladega National Forest from the 96.7 ~ US 431 Trailhead to the 161.1 ~ High Point Trailhead, Sections 8 thru 12.
The Appalachian Trail Club of Alabama has produced and donated comparable signs to the Alabama Trails Association that cover Section 13, from the 161.1 ~ High Point Trailhead up to the 173.9 ~ Jackson Chapel Trailhead. This section covers the Alabama Pinhoti from the northern boundary of the Talladega National Forest to just past the Georgia state line.
All of these signs were installed by volunteers from Alabama's Pinhoti Trail Clubs.
These signs have been placed at: All trailheads All paved roads Most accessible dirt roads All trail shelters and the Dugger Mountain Wilderness
At each location, except the shelters, there are two signs. One shows mileage to southbound landmarks and the other shows mileage to northbound landmarks. The shelters have one sign showing mileage to both north and south landmarks.
