| CRiedel2 | First Thing I did New Years 2007 Date Climbed: Jan 1, 2007 | |
| Car camped here Dec 31st, no beer sold in AL on Sundays, so no New Years drinking for me this time. Woke up early and hiked up from the Cheaha trailhead parking, through the woods, then followed the road up through the gate and on to the summit. Very foggy, but a nice tower at least. About 2 miles round trip. The Park Ranger was very nice late the night when I got there and started setting up my car camp when asking me what I was doing at 11:45 on December 31st after I parked, hahaha. Good guys, Nice area, wanted to hike up Talladega Mt too, but had to get driving. Surprised that's not on here yet...Highpoint #7. | |

| Go to Cheaha all the time, great views and a decent place to take car campers for a night. No real challenge, but a nice day nonetheless. | |

| gwave47 | Wheres the trail Date Climbed: Mar 11, 2006 | |
| Couldn't find a trail that started at the base and went to the top. So I started at the top and went to the bottom and returned back up. The views were decent, I guess the best AL has to offer, it was worth the trip and it was highpoint number 4. | |

| TLP | For Alabama this is impressive Date Climbed: May 21, 2006 | |
| I was impressed by this mountain. I didn't think Alabama would have something like this. There's a nice overlook on the drive there that gives you a good idea of the size of this mountain. | |

| e-doc | drive up | |
| At a conference in Atlanta. Drove over to bag as a state HP. Looks like a neat place to spend a few days backpacking | |

| Joseph Claghorn | Route Climbed: Lake Trail Date Climbed: June 2004 | |
| This is actually the most accessible high point from Atlanta, and is one of the best ones in the region. I've done a lot of trips to the North Georgia Mountains, but was pleasantly suprised by the "Alabama Alps" with the scenic parkway (a diminuitive blue Ridge parkway). Be careful when hiking here in the late spring/summer. Although the terrain feels a lot like North Georgia, the elevations are significantly lower and it can get very hot, especially if you are trying the Lake Trail approach, which I highly recommend. | |

| koz | Route Climbed: Drive-up; hike from the gate Date Climbed: July 28, 2004 | |
| Highpoint #32. Rented a minivan & took turns driving from MA (home) to MO-AR-LA-MS-AL-FL & back. Unfortunately got here at night; seems like the views in the area would have been nice during the day. | |

| chmoore577 | Route Climbed: Road Date Climbed: Sept. 9, 2002 | |
| An easy drive up. Buildings were under renovation so not much to do. We took a few pictures and headed on our way. | |

| My 1st highpoint. They were renovating the tower so I could not go up to the top. Chilly and windy. | |

| Spent most of my high school and college years hiking, climbing and rappelling on Cheaha. Spent one of the coldest nights of my life camping there in a storm. War Eagle! | |

| Cortez | Route Climbed: Lake Chinnabee via the Silent trail & Pinhoti Trail Date Climbed: February 23, 2000 | |
| A large party of us hiked this gruelling death march from the base of Mt Cheaha. The weather was cold and damp/drizzly. The trails for the most part were good but this is an extremely difficult hike. Just because this mountain is at the southern terminous of the Appalachian Mts. in Alabama does not make it easy if you choose this route.
