Weekly Trials and Tribulations of the Scenic City Chapter of the TTA

Weekly Trials. Tribulations and Photos experienced while hiking

Heiss Mountain Cumberland Trail

7.10.12  George, Renee, Larry  They hiked the Heiss Mountain Segment of the Cumberland Trail down to the bridge.  The hike went well.  Then the rains came!  I would rate this hike as moderate with a distance of 5 miles.  For a couple of pictures, click HERE or on the Cumberland Trail tab above.

Edwards Point

7.7.12  On this hike there were eight hikers.  Six from the Plateau Chapter joined two from the Soddy Daisy Chapter on this hike.  It was extremely hot, probably in the low 100's.  This made it extremely hard on the hikers.  Never the less, Edwards Point was reached.  I would rate this hike as moderate for difficulty and extreme for conditions.  I am guessing the hike was about 8 miles.  For a few pictures, click HERE or on the Edwards Point tab above.
