The Alabama Trails Association (ATA) is committed to connecting Alabama’s mountains to the Appalachian Trail by linking Alabama’s longest trail, the 100 mile Pinhoti (Pin-ho-tee), with the 2,250 mile long Appalachian Trail. It is our primary goal–our main reason for existing! We are an organization of 300 (and growing!) individuals and affiliate groups concerned with the building and maintenance of hiking trails in our state.
