Bird Mountain Loop Trail 10.12.19

Today we traveled to Frozen Head State Park for a seven mile hike on the Bird Mountain Trail, which peaks out at 3010 feet of elevation. We had seven hikers  today - ( three were from the Chattanooga area, two were from Monterey, and two were from the Knoxville area).

The weather was overcast and pretty cool with temperatures about 40 degrees at noon but up close to 60 degrees by the hikes end (and after a nearly 2000' drop in elevation).

We lunched at a picnic table  (in the middle of the woods - but on the trail) about 40% of the way thru the hike.

This hike was similar to last weeks Spicewood Trail hike at Frozen Head. This hike had an ascent of 1850 feet, mostly in the first part of the hike.
