Six hikers traveled to explore the Grundy Forest Day Loop with a spur to Sycamore Falls. After circling Tracy City a couple of times, we found the trailhead. Entering the forest, we hiked past a large rock house, 500 year old hemlocks, down rock steps and across a bridge to see the first of 3 waterfalls. Up and down some rocks and roots and over another bridge, the Little Fiery Gizzard creek joined the Big Fiery Gizzard creek and gushed down Black Canyon. After passing Chimney Rock towers we arrived at Sycamore Falls to rest and have a snack. Retracing our steps, we hiked out of the canyon to finish the Grundy Day Loop, passing by Hanes Hole Falls. The hike was about 4.5 miles, completed in 3 hours.
