Even if your hiking boots are more “fashion than function,” you’re probably aware that Alabama has no shortage of beautiful, scenic places to escape everyday life.

Thanks to The Conservation Fund, years of dedication coupled with recent advances on the conservation front are making it easier than ever for hikers, mountain bikers and adventure-seekers to hit the trails that weave their way across our beautiful state—all via public lands.

But there’s one trek in particular that deserves another look: northeast Alabama’s Pinhoti Trail serves as our state’s missing link to the Appalachian Trail in northwest Georgia. We’ll show you why it’s worth breaking out those hiking boots—and contributing to efforts to expand and conserve the Pinhoti for future explorers.

Read why we should be proud of the Pinhoti Trail, learn how it’s grown and find out how you can help efforts to keep it beautiful and accessible for all.
