I am heading out again.  This time the Bee Branch Trail.  I am doing this March 4th and 5th.  I have been on the portion that includes trails 202 and 209, but I have not taken the rest.  I was just wondering what scenic pictures I should look out for? 

Also, if anyone is interested in meeting me out on the trail, you are more than welcome to join me.

I assume you're going to see the Big Tree, which is on the eastern branch of Bee Branch.  The western branch is IMHO a spectacular area.  Go up to the base of the cliffs on the east side and you can cruise right up the canyon.

AdamSean,

Any idea on where you plan to park and what trails will you use to get to the Bee Branch?

I will park at the Randolph trailhead and take the 202 to the 209 and then up the Bee Branch.  I like that stretch through the 202 and 209.  It is so peaceful.  Last time I pushed straight through.  This time I am going to take my time and enjoy the surroundings.  The time is almost here. Only 5 more days!.  I am going to put in for a time off request at work so I can do a 3 day stretch.  Then a couple of 4 day treks to get ready for my 7 day adventure in the spring.  I just love it out there.  I wish there were some other hiking areas around me here in Tuscaloosa.

Hi Adam, the Pinhoti is about the same distance from us here in Tuscaloosa as the Sipsey.
