In the initial part of the hike we made an
ascent of about 2200 feet (in a couple of miles) to reach the bluff overlooking
the Tennessee River Valley to our West.
We had good open views to the South, the
West, and the North for 25 to 40 miles. Watts Bar Nuclear Plant was easy to spot about
40 miles to the Northwest.
After reaching the bluff, we hiked to the
South a little over 2 miles until we reached the area containing several tall communication
towers located on and near the West bluff line.
At this point we stopped for our lunch break.
After lunch we headed back toward the bluff and our starting point.
Today we hiked about 8.6 miles. This hike is rated as difficult by All
Trails. I would rate the initial 2 miles
as a strenuous portion of the hike. We
had four hikers participate in today’s hike.
