Cheaha Mountain is the highest natural point in Alabama at 2,405ft. Local Creek Indians named this place “Chaha,” meaning high place. Sitting atop the mountain is a campground, hotel and a state operated convenience store. There is good climbing with some excellent views to be found here. There is a broad range of difficulty and convenient top roping.
It is located a few miles northwest of the town of Delta in Cheaha State Park, which offers a lodge, a restaurant, and other amenities. Cheaha Mountain is part of the Talladega Mountains, a final southern segment of the Blue Ridge, unlike other elevations of the Appalachians in north Alabama, which are part of the Cumberland Plateau.
