McDill Point Loop
The classic Cheaha day loop: south on the Pinhoti over McDill Point — the sunset cliff in the app's photo — then back through the hardwoods on the Cave Creek Trail. Big views, one honest climb.
Start: Cheaha Pinhoti Trailhead (Pinhoti Mile 79.6). The orange line is the full loop — hike it either direction. Distances and climbing are computed from the mapped trails and elevation data, so treat them as close estimates, not survey numbers.
