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

Weekly Trials. Tribulations and Photos experienced while hiking

Savage Gulf, 9.19.2023, South Rim, Lollipop Trail

 What a great day for a hike!   We gathered a Savage Gulf for a wonderful stroll through the woods.  Not much water in the falls, but some great views of the gulch.  The weather was beautiful and cool.  The lazy designated hike leader coerced several of the hikers to lead portions of the hike, and they did a fantastic job.  There were 10 hikers today which is just about the correct amount.  The duration of this hike was 2 hrs. and 20 minutes with a distance of 4.3 miles.

Rainbow Lake 9.12.2023

On Tuesday, September 12th, a robust crowd of 22 TN Trails members hiked the Rainbow Lake and Bee Branch Trail Loop on Signal Mountain.  Although the hike was relatively short at about three miles, the rocky and treacherous terrain provided a quality work out for all.  High humidity accompanied by lower temperatures made for a damp but pleasant morning.  About half of us met up for lunch and fellowship at Crust Pizza in Red Bank following the hike.
