Falling Water Falls 1.3.17

This hike was approximately five miles.  There were either fourteen intrepid hikers on this clear cold day.  When the group reached the creek, six hikers turned back and three braved wet feet and crossed the creek.  The falls were roaring with plenty of water and it was enjoyed.  When the three hikers returned to the trail head, three of the original hikers were there to greet them.  I would rate the hike as severe because of the water crossing.  If you would like to see some pictures, click here.

Snow Falls 12.31.16

This was not the most pleasant of hikes.  It was planned for ten miles, but because of sleet, wind and a cold rain at the top of the mountain, the group only made it seven tough miles.  Needless to say they did not make it to Snow Falls.  They did stop for a quick lunch at the top of the mountain which was rated as moderately uncomfortable.  The group did get some views of the Tennessee River Valley to the East and South of Dayton.  I would rate this hike as moderately strenuous.  If you would like to see some pictures, click here.
