Our hike this saturday was an 8 mile loop with about a 2000 foot elevation gain. I would rate this hike as strenuous. We could tell that our legs got a pretty good workout
This was one of the hikes on Bird Mountain at Frozen Head State Park, probably the prettiest park in this part of Tennessee. We had six hikers (five from around the Chattanooga area and one from the Knoxville area) who gathered at the trailhead. We luckily gained a little extra hiking distance as the parking lot for the trailhead was filled by the time we arrived.

We had
beautiful weather for the hike – a bright sunny day with temperatures reaching
50 degrees by hikes end. After lunching
about half-way through the hike, we continued our traverse across the hilltop
before beginning our descent and return to the trailhead. It was a very good hike with a nice group of
hikers.
