Weekly Trials and Tribulations of the Scenic City Chapter of the TTA

Weekly Trials. Tribulations and Photos experienced while hiking

Spring Get-Away 5-2022

 These pictures are late since for some reason this time post did not share?  Anyway my apologies.  Members of the Scenic City Hiking Club were invited to an overnight get away for a few days of comradery and hiking in the Big South Fork area.  As you can see from the group picture quite a few hikers showed up for this outing.  Several different places were hiked among them were Arches Loop Trail, Poque Creek, Colditz Falls and Picket State Park/Big South Fork.  Everyone had a great time and more outing are being planned.

Can't Hardly Trail

 We had 12 hikers including myself.  I was happy to hear that most of the hikers had not been on the Can't Hardly trail, so it was a new experience for them.  The trail did not disappoint.  It was lush and had several bridges we could use to cross the creek, although portions of the creek were very low.  We stopped for a snack back on the connector at the Bear Creek bridge and then returned to the parking lot on the trail.  The total miles were between 3.5 to 4 miles.  The elevation gain was minimum with a total of around 400 feet.  

The highlight was the addition of Mary, who is a new member ofg the Gallatin chapter of Tennessee Trails.  She was camping in Cloudland Canyon and took the time to hike with us.  We hope she is able to join us on future hikes.
