Review:

Cheaha Mountain is the highest mountain peak in the state of Alabama, rising 2,407 feet above sea level over the gorgeous terrain of Talladega National Forest. The mountain, which is named for a Creek indigenous word for "high place," was stripped of much of its natural beauty throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a result of extensive logging and farming activity in the area. Following the creation of the surrounding national forest in 1936, it returned to its natural beauty and is now known as one of the state's most picturesque natural wonders. Visitors can travel to the mountain's summit and enjoy stunning panoramic views from Bunker Tower, which was constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1934 and serves as a visitor center today. The highest point of the mountain's summit is marked by a United States Geological Survey benchmark that sits directly in front of the tower.
