US State Highpointing: Cheaha Mountain, highest point in Alabama

Cheaha Mountain, often simply referred to as Mount Cheaha, and at an elevation of 2,413 feet,
it is the highest natural point in the state of Alabama. Located in the northeastern part of the state within Cheaha State Park, it's part of the Talladega National Forest. The state park is also one of the oldest parks in Alabama. The mountain is known for its panoramic views and several scenic overlooks that provide awesome views of the surrounding woodlands and valleys. The most famous of these overlooks is Cheaha Bald, which is accessible by road and offers a stunning perspective of the region. This dramatic landscape gets its name from the Creek Indian name for the mountain, “chaha” meaning “high place”. We had a clear day and wicked views from the tower. Come along and climb the tower to see what those views are like on top of Alabama!
