Promoting the development and enjoyment of Tennessee trails.
Joint hike with Upper Cumberland Chapter. This is one of the best hikes we do, featuring waterfalls, rock houses, and gorge overlooks. BRING WATER SHOES and extra socks JUST IN CASE. Short Hike: 3.5 mile half of the loop exiting the trail at the overlook with a road walk back to the cars. Long Hike: The trail is 6 miles and fairly difficult because of rock scrambles, stream crossings, and steep slopes. Definitely worth the effort. Also a portion of the hike is in a creek bed, so if we get a bunch of rain in the days before the hike – bring water shoes. A hundred yards or so of the creek bed is slippery and must be hiked w/extreme care. Depart 7:30 am CDST from the Crossville Cracker Barrel rear lot SW corner. Carpool cost is $6. Don’t forget tick/bug spray and sunscreen. Bring (electrolytes) water and a snack. Don’t forget tick/bug spray and sunscreen. Persons 18 and over, members and non-members welcome.
