Promoting the development and enjoyment of Tennessee trails.
Tuesday, March 12 — Walden’s Ridge Park trails, 4 to 5 miles, loops, moderate. This is yet another new set of trails in the Chattanooga area, located on the side of Signal Mountain/Walden Ridge. We will start our hike at the bottom of the ridge, using the trailhead off Mountain Creek Road. We’ll proceed to meander through the woods in a generally uphill fashion, then wander more or less downhill to complete a loop or two. Rocks and boulders will be encountered. Crazy mountain bikers will be avoided. Check the weather forecast and choose appropriate layers; wear hiking shoes or boots; bring food and water; and gather up hiking poles, rain jacket, and sunscreen as needed. For carpooling/caravanning, meet at 8:30 am ET at Food City on Signal Mountain Road, in the near back corner of the parking lot. https://bit.ly/3pk0suY Please register with hike leader Tom McElhone, 805-208-4654 or sarmitta@yahoo.com. Carpool cost $1.00.
