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

Weekly Trials. Tribulations and Photos experienced while hiking

Raccoon Mtn. 8.5.2023

 It was another warm day; summer in Tennessee. Seven hikers started up the High Voltage trail on Raccoon Mountain. The trailhead is across the road from the boat launch on the Tennessee River. The path was fairly easy, only a few rocks and switchbacks to gain the elevation of 1296 feet. At the summit of the mountain, a bike race was rolling down the paths. We jumped on and off to trail getting out of their way.

After lunch, we retraced our steps down the mountain, leaving the bike race far behind. We hiked 9.28 miles, a nice hike on a hot day.

Sometimes I think that common sense is the least common of the senses.
