January 16, 2003 --
Join JSU for the premiere hike of 2003. Taking place on the Dugger Mountain portion of the Pinhoti
Trail, this hike guarantees to fill your day with exercise and fantastic views! Botanist Francine
Hutchinson and JSU Field School naturalist Matt Beall will lead the hike. Both are trained to make
this day safe and especially interesting.
Through efforts led by JSU’s Environmental Policy and Information Center, the White House
designated Dugger Mountain as a National Wilderness Area in 1999 and the Pinhoti as a National
Millennium Trail in 2000. By Alabama standards, Dugger is our second highest mountain and the
Pinhoti is our longest hiking trail. Quite simply, it’s a great place for a hike!
Pre-register for this one-day hike on or before Wednesday, January 22nd and plan to bring a daypack
with lunch, water, and snacks. Also, be sure to check weather forecasts and dress accordingly. This
is a moderately strenuous hike that requires some experience. For more information about this JSU
Field School activity, please call 256-782-8010 and be sure to sign up early for future hikes and
activities of the JSU Field Schools!
