Seven hikers were raring to go and see the sights at Prentice Cooper on Saturday. Starting at the main trailhead, the first stop was down the stone steps to the Indian Rock House.; We crossed numerous wet weather streams easily over the rocks and one wooden bridge missing a few boards and saw one small waterfall. There were lots of spiders and webs! The trail took us to another small stone door, around and under a tree, then to our destination at Lawson's Rock - a spectacular overlook of the TN river and gorge. It was a great lunch spot though by then it was getting rather warm in the sunshine. Refreshed by the view and refueled, we retraced our steps back to the trailhead. The hike was so wonderful, we somehow stretched out the mileage to 7.2 miles with a hard - earned elevation gain of 1444 feet. Good job, hikers!
