Cheaha Mountain, Mountain summit in Cleburne County, Alabama.
Cheaha Mountain rises to 735 meters, making it the highest natural elevation point in Alabama, with extensive views of the Talladega National Forest.
The Civilian Conservation Corps constructed the stone Bunker Tower at the summit during the 1930s, marking a significant period of development in Alabama's first state park.
The mountain's name derives from the Creek language word 'Chaha', reflecting the Native American recognition of this elevated landform as a high place.

The summit contains a carved X marker made by Conservation Corps workers, indicating the exact highest point of Alabama's elevation system.
