In northeast Alabama, the Talladega Scenic Drive is the best and easiest way to view the state's natural treasures from the comfort of your automobile.
The Talladega Scenic Drive is about 90 miles east of Birmingham and 80 miles west of Atlanta. It can be accessed from two major highways, US 78 near Heflin, and US 431 at Interstate 20, plus County Roads 42, 49, and 24.
From Birmingham, take I-20 east to exit No. 191 and turn right (south) onto US Highway 431. Travel southeast for about two miles and turn onto Highway 281 (Talladega Scenic Drive). The Byway continues north and south on Highway 281, north to Highway 78, and south through the Cheaha State Park to just after the Turnipseed Hunt Camp.
