Prentice Cooper: Mullens Cove Loop
March 15 @ 8:30 am – 5:00 pm
Saturday, March 15 — Cumberland Trail: Mullens Cove Loop. 9.3 miles, 1538’ el. gain, moderate. The trail, which is in the Prentice Cooper State Forest close to Chattanooga, mostly wriggles up and down along the edge of the Grand Canyon of Tennessee, where the beautiful Tennessee River cuts a gorge through the Cumberland Plateau. (How did it do that??) We’ll enjoy several panoramic views as we hike through a beautiful forest and occasional cliffs.
Check the weather forecast and put on appropriate layers; wear hiking shoes or boots; bring snacks and lunch along with more water than you think you need; and gather up hiking poles, rain jacket, sunscreen, and insect repellent as needed.
For carpooling/caravanning, meet at Food City on Signal Mountain Road, in the near back corner of the parking lot, at 8:30 am ET. https://bit.ly/3pk0suY REQUIRED: Register with the hike leader Tom McElhone, (805) 208-4654. Carpool gas cost: $2.
