One of the best, it not THE best, views on the Pinhoti can be found in this particular section - looking back south all the way to Dugger with all the in between ridges - Oakey, Augusta, Davis, etc. And there is an excellent rock face to sit on and enjoy the scenery. Also some good views back into Georgia

I totally agree! The most long range panoramic views with no sign of civilization, and to the NW an appreciation for the size of Weiss lake.

Last time I was through there the Alabama and Georgia state flags really needed to be replaced at the state line. I may have access to an Alabama State flag if you are interested in taking it.
Here's a video of the referenced view I posted a while back:
