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

Weekly Trials. Tribulations and Photos experienced while hiking

Heiss Mountain 3.20.18

What a great hike.  Heiss Mtn. has been one of my favorites for years.  The day started off hazy, overcast and damp.  It ended overcast and damp.  It had been raining the previous day so the trail was a bit slippery in both directions.  The group consisted of ten hikers and was led by Renee.  This hike is rated as moderate, but since it is steep coming out I would rate the return as moderate++.  The hike took about 2 hours 12 minutes and this included a stop at the bridge on the Big Possum Creek.  The distance was 2.6 miles.  If you'll notice there is a big guy in a red shirt in a lot of the pictures, but none of the pictures has his face, very strange?
There are a couple pictures of what we call the waffle stone.  If any one who reads this knows the real name of this formation and or how it was formed please let me know.  If you would like to see some pictures, click here.  There is also a graph of the altitudes and a map picture of the route at the end of the photos.
