This time of year always brings some great weather. This hike was no exception with outstanding weather and clear blue skies. There were 16 of us on this hike and this included several new hikers who are always welcome. We hiked in a loop for about 4.3 miles which took us just about 2.5 hours. The hike was relatively easy but unfortunately, the view points were pretty well hidden by the trees. Right after the hike we went to the East Overlook for those hikers that had not seen a really great view of the Chattanooga basin. Unfortunately, it was a bit of a hazy day but the view was still great. Following the hike our social director and now probably our lunch coordinator (a very special and important job) suggested the Mayan restaurant downtown. Usually we shy away from downtown due to the parking but there was plenty of parking available. The meal was great with some unusual items.
