The Paleozoic is divided into six periods: the Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous (in the U.S., this is divided into the Mississippian and Pennsylvanian Periods), and Permian. Most of these names derive from locations where rocks of these ages were first studied.
Highest Point In Alabama - Cheaha Resort State Park. âHighest Point In Alabamaâ Review of Cheaha Resort State Park. This is a great place to spend the day, hike and have a picnic. The tower at the top has a lot of steps but the view at the top is worth it. I would recommend drving up the mountain on the Calhoun Conuty side because the Talladega County side (Munford) is very curvy.
2/8/2017. Though it is the highest point east of the Mississippi River, Mt. Mitchell is one of the more accessible highpoints. A drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway takes one to Mt. Mitchell State Park. From there, one can drive to a parking lot near the summit and hike a short distance on a paved route to the summit.
