What is AHTS?
Founded in 2001, the Alabama Hiking Trail Society was formed to promote, protect, maintain, and develop hiking trails in Alabma, all in an effort to create a statewide hiking trail system (see “What is the Alabama Trail System”). In addition, AHTS is working to complete the portion of the Eastern Continental Trail through Alabama that stretches from Key West, FL, to Canada, and the Great Eastern Trail. But we’re not all work. AHTS provides hikes and backpack trips for hikers of all ages and experience, our annual conference with speakers on a wide range of topics, and many more activities.
