Pinhoti Fest Preview

Sylacauga kicks off this year’s Pinhoti Fest September 27 through 29 at Noble Park with live performances, workshops, trail tips and great deals from national outdoors brands. The keynote speaker at this year’s event will be Heather “Anish” Anderson, a three-time Triple Crown hiker with more than 25,000 miles of hiking under her belt. The Triple Crown designates completion of the Appalachian, Pacific Crest and Continental Divide trails. An author as well as a hiker, Anderson holds the record for the fastest known completion of the Appalachian Trail. 

This year, the three-day tent campout event in Central Alabama will feature a fresh focus on search and rescue. Following the opening activities, hikers can watch Safe and Found, hiking lessons from a search-and-rescue documentary.
