Promoting the development and enjoyment of Tennessee trails.
Friday, September 27 – Rock Creek Loop, Big South Fork, Jamestown, TN – 7.5 miles – moderately strenuous for terrain, elevation change and length. Joint hike with the Nashville and Murfreesboro Chapters. We’ll descend to the rocky, mossy banks of Massey Branch and Rock Creek, passing below bluffs and along the remains of the Stearns logging railway. Much of the route is shared with the John Muir and Sheltowee Trace trails. Meet at the trailhead for a 9:15 AM CDT stepoff. Pack snacks, plenty of water, and lunch. Wear footwear appropriate for rugged trail; you may want to bring bug spray, sunscreen, and hiking poles. Register with Mark for details and updates: midtn@tnhiker.net (615) 669-3221. Some hikers will stay in the area and hike Twin Arches on Saturday, including those camping on the A loop at Bandy Creek Campground. Please make your own reservations.
