Laurel Falls and Beyond

Laurel Falls, Bryan Overlook, and beyond, moderate/strenuous, 6-7 miles. We
can hope that by this time of the year, Laurel Creek has a decent amount of water and the trees are acting like it’s autumn. This waterfall has a spectacular collection of giant boulders at its base. We’ll continue up the trail, ascend through a crack in the cliff, cross the creek and proceed to Bryan Point. From there we will take a marked but unnamed trail along the edge of the escarpment, down to Paine Creek, and follow Paine Creek to the main trail and the parking lot. Meet at the Durham Street parking lot (ball fields) off Dayton Pike in Soddy-Daisy at 8.30 am ET. Please register with Betsy Darken, (423) 718-2060.
