| Hiked up from the lake. Was a fun hike, but best part was the Rock Gardens. I had to linger there for awhile-- it was beautiful. | |

| Cool tower but there was a Mountain Bike race going on that morning that made it a really crowded place. Kinda felt like we were doing something we shouldn't just by being there. | |

| My entire family visited this state highpoint as part of our family quest for them during the period Sept 1985 to September 1987. This was number 16 of my 49 state high points with Vanessa, and number 5 for Hillary and Holly. | |

| maddie77777 | I underestimated this one Date Climbed: Feb 15, 2009 | |
| We hiked from Cheaha Lake, and you gain about 1,000 feet of elevation in 1/4 mile, which was surprising. I like that they've made such a big deal out of the whole area, even if it is pretty commercialized. #16 for me. | |

| Unfortunatly there are no routes leading to the summit so we had to drive but I did get to go to the summit. I wish they didn't put observation towers on the summit. Anyways, climbed the some of the cliffs on the Lake Trail. tons of fun. | |

| I drove up to the top with my wife and 4 year old son. We had just arrived in Atlanta and this was the first thing we did before heading toward the eastern seaboard. | |

| I really liked the old Depression era tower. Climbing up the stairs reminded me of the scenes from the tower in Hitchcock's masterpiece Vertigo. | |

| Beautiful sunny morning and I was the only one at the tower. Hazy in the distance. I found a benchmark in a rock on the west side of the building, but it was a secondary marker. | |

| highlandvillager | Nice views Date Climbed: May 25, 2008 | |
| After starting down the wrong trail from the lake, I finally found the trailhead for the Lake Trail at a different spot than shown on the map. I stopped to enjoy the views from the Rock Garden, then wandered in circles searching for the unmarked Rock Garden trail, which led to the cabins. Then I bushwacked up to the top because there is apparently no trail. A correct trail map, better marking for the Rock Garden trail, and a summit trail would be nice, but I enjoyed hiking there anyway. HP10 | |

| Climbed it a second time, from Cheaha Lake again. This time I had the privilege of climbing it with my brother. Its always nice to have some quality company for a hike! | |

| tioga | Rock Gardens! Date Climbed: Apr 13, 2008 | |
| Climbed via the Cheaha Lake Trail and spent quite a while at the Rock Garden. Beautiful area! Most would probably assume that there is nothing like this in Alabama. The summit itself was anticlimatic, but the mountain itself is impressive for this state. It was a great day for climbing. | |

| TiogaBradford | Surprisingly Beautiful Date Climbed: Jan 4, 2008 | |
| Climbed up from Cheaha Lake to the Rock Gardens, and then found the top by following a myriad of roads to the highpoint. The best part was the view from the Rock Gardens...a surprisingly beautiful view, and I had it mostly to myself. 7th highpoint, I think. | |

| Redwic | Very Enjoyable!!! Date Climbed: Dec 26, 2007 | |
| The Observation Tower was worth the drive to this State Highpoint. Beautiful weather, gorgeous views. I met a couple of highpointers from Georgia, and talked with them for a while. Minor highpointing milestone: This was my 10th State Highpoint reached. | |

| There was construction going on all around the summit, but they let me sneak in and tag the highest point. A nice area. | |
