Grundy State Forest 11.27.18

When we left Red Bank it was 30 degrees. The closer we got to Tracy City, the colder it got. When we reached the Trailhead it was 24 degrees. There were 11 of us that tried to convince ourselves that it was better than  being in 94 degree weather.  We were suppose to do the half the Grundy day loop, go to Sycamore Falls and return by the 2nd half of the day loop. However the fearless hike leader felt there were some dangerous spots on the 2nd portion of the day loop, so we came back the same way we went and then we did some of the day loop that we missed so that we could see the falls. There wasn’t much water at the falls, but the hike is really beautiful. You do have to go over lots of tree roots and rocks. But the scenery is well worth it. Seven of us then went out for a nice lunch, even though we were disappointed that the Mountain Goat Market was closed.  We ended up hiking about 4 miles. I would rate it as moderate.  If you would like to see some pictures, click here.
