Our goal this day is to see a bit of our home state. As we flat-landers are mesmerized by mountains, we decided that the highest point in the state of Alabama would be a good choice. Again, criteria in mind (short drive time, place for lunch), Mt. Cheaha became the destination of choice. The drive up highway 281 was just about as scenic as the mountain itself. I would definitely recommend the restaurant in the lodge on the mountain for lunch - note: order a sandwich from the menu with the homemade potato chips, YUM!
The park has camping and hiking trails. We especially enjoyed sighting numerous deer as we were driving through.
Definitely a day-trip to be recommended to anyone wanting to see more of Alabama!
