State Route 281 in Alabama, also known as SR-281 and as Talladega Scenic Drive, extends from U.S. Highway 78/SR-4 west of Heflin to the intersection of two unpaved forest roads in the Talladega National Forest. Running the crest of the Talladega Mountains, Alabama's highest range, SR-281 was originally an unpaved forest route known as Skyway Motorway prior to the reconstruction into a paved scenic highway.
