A little more from the first edition of my book, "Hiking Alabama" which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. It was called "Hike America Alabama" when it was originally released in October 2000 by a small company out of Virginia called Beachway Press. Not long after publication, Globe Pequot and their imprint, Falcon Books, re-released it with a new title - "Hike Alabama". There were two reasons for the name change. The first was because it fit with all of the other guides in their series. Second - there was a lawsuit. Apparently there was a guy out west who hand carved hiking sticks with images from each of the 50 states. He called the series of walking sticks "Hike America...(insert state name)". You just never know.
Today, I have for you the hikes of the Southeast Region from that first edition that has been long out of print. Remember, this was 20 years ago. Some trails have changed. Some have disappeared. And contact information has changed.
