Promoting the development and enjoyment of Tennessee trails.
Saturday, July 15 — Emery Creek Falls Trail, moderate, around 6 miles, 900’ el. gain, out-and-back. This is a beautiful trail with a record number of creek crossings, so do not attempt at high water. Almost all the crossings are easy, but you may get wet at the first one—no problem on a hot summer day. The double waterfalls at our turnaround point is very cool! Bring good water shoes, preferably ones that you can use for both creek crossings and hiking. Also bring lunch, lots of water, bug repellent, sunscreen, and other summer essentials. For carpooling/caravanning, meet at Wendy’s, left (east) off I-75 Exit 1 (East Ridge) at 7:30 am ET. Please register with hike leader Tom McElhone, 805-208-4654 or sarmitta@yahoo.com.
