Promoting the development and enjoyment of Tennessee trails.
Saturday, January 6 — Hinch Mountain Section of the Cumberland Trail, 8 to 9 miles, out-and-back, moderately strenuous. Starting at Stinging Fork Falls trailhead, we will explore this new section of the Cumberland Trail that turns off Stinging Fork trail and heads north towards Hinch Mountain. We will cross Stinging Fork Creek and Little Soak Creek, descend a rock stairway, walk through a pine forest, and ascend the gorge. We will return by retracing our steps. Check the weather forecast and choose appropriate layers; wear hiking shoes or boots; bring food and water; and gather up hiking poles, rain jacket, and sunscreen as needed. We can probably get by without water shoes or micro spikes but keep an eye on the weather. Meet at Durham Street in Soddy-Daisy at 8:30 ET. Please register with Tammy Hendrick at 315-949-8187. Carpool cost $6.00.
