Ritchie Hollow 5.8.18

What a hike!  We started on an absolutely beautiful day.  The temperature was perfect and not a cloud in the sky.  Today we had 14 hikers on what has been a confusingly rated trail.  This trail has be rated from easy to severe.  I'm now going to set the record straight.  Although it is a short hike of only about four miles in and out, I will rate it as moderately severe.  It is a constant up hill climb after a short flat start.  About 3/4 of the way up, there is a turn off to the falls.  Today the falls were absolutely beautiful.  After waiting a short time for the stragglers, we decided on on Chinese Buffet near Walmart at Signal Mountain.  If you would like to see some pictures, click here.
