Promoting the development and enjoyment of Tennessee trails.
Gainesboro / Cookeville area.
About 5 miles. Moderate to strenuous.
This hike is for TTA members and guests only. We’ll visit unique natural areas that offer a huge variety of spring ephemeral wildflowers and even the roadsides along the way are covered. The Washmorgan Hollow out-and-back trail follows a stream bed to a lovely waterfall, with the profusion of wildflowers coming up to eye level. We’ll have permission to hike on nearby private land where we’ll see more wildflowers and waterfalls. The optional strenuous segment is short but a bit technical. Reach out if you have questions. We’ll travel at a pace that allows us to appreciate the natural beauty around us. Depending on water levels the trails can involve numerous shallow crossings, so you may want to bring water shoes. Pack plenty of water, snacks, and lunch. Don’t forget sun and bug protection. Alternate date for inclement weather: Wednesday April 23rd.
