We started this hike with seven humans and one canine and lost three hikers along the way. Let me explain the scenario. We parked at Snoopers Rock parking lot, crossed Tower Road to begin our hiike on Mullens Cove trail as a group. We walked along a creek and crossed it three times because the hike leader couldn't find where the trail was located on the other side. Good practice though, for we had many creek crossings to come - did someone say 27?! The Group hiked to Mullens Cove overlook to admire the Tennessee River valley. Then we split - hardy hikers decided to trek the 10.5 mile Mullens Cove loop. Four of us and Max, the dog, took the leisurely sight-seeing trip of 5.1 miles to vbiew the Tennessee gorg at Ransom Hollow overlook off the Pot Point trail. The cold wind prevented us from lunching at the overlook, but the few downed trees gave us suitable seating and protection from the wind. The sightseers retraced their steps, and the loopers, well, looped around.
