We hiked at Flipper Bend this weekend on a very pleasant hike of about 9.6miles. The weather was excellent as were the views overlooking the Tennessee river Valley, Sequoyah Nuclear Plant, and the Soddy Daisy area below us. Five hikers participated in this hike.
The elevation changes we encountered during the hike were moderate (about 1200 feet). Our hike rate for this hike was slightly less than 2 mph, which was a comfortable pace for this terrain. I'd rate this hike moderately strenuous.
Portions of this hike also overlook the North Chickamauga Creek gorge and gave us good looks at the gorge and Soddy Daisy bluff homes on the north side of the gorge.
