Pin-Chin-Sky Loop
The Pinhoti's most famous loop: three trails circling Lake Chinnabee in the Cheaha Wilderness — the Skyway along the old motorway ridge, the Pinhoti over the high country, and the Chinnabee Silent Trail back along the creek past Cheaha Falls. Most hikers give it a night or two.
Start: Lake Chinnabee. 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.
