Four of us
traveled separately from our meetup location (Soddy Daisy ballfields) to the
Cumberland Trail Trailhead, where the trail crosses TN Hwy 68 a few miles
southeast of Crossvile. Our hike was 10.3 miles (to Brady Mountain Peak
& return), with an elevation gain of 1745 feet. The hike is
rated as strenuous, mainly due to length. Fortunately the weather was
very pleasant, with temperatures in the 70's and a nice breeze most of the
day. We lunched at the hike turn around poit, Brady Mountain
Peak. If you would like to see some very nice pictures taken during
