Promoting the development and enjoyment of Tennessee trails.
Tuesday, November 14 — Sitton Gulch Trail to Hemlock Falls, about 3.5 miles, 400-500’ el. gain, easy/ moderate. This trail at the bottom of Cloudland Canyon follows a beautiful and rambunctious creek upstream to a bridge over an unnamed yet quite respectable waterfall. It gets slighted because it is downstream of not one but two immense waterfalls. (They will not be immense unless the drought breaks.) The first, Hemlock Falls, is a little further upstream and a good turnaround point. In addition to these attractions, we may still have some autumn leaves to admire, being further south and at lower elevation. (This may be a forlorn wish.) For carpooling/caravanning, meet at the parking lot just after LaQuinta Inn, right (north) off I-24 Exit 175 at 8:30 am ET. https://bit.ly/3QITAD4 Please register with hike leader Tom McElhone, 805-208-4654 or sarmitta@yahoo.com. Carpool cost $2.00.
