This Saturday morning, 12 hikers met at this trail in Sale Creek, TN. It was an awesome morning for hiking. The temperature upon arrival was a cool 64 degrees, with low humidity and lots of sunshine. This hike included a little bit of everything – lots of ups and downs, some rocky terrain, the views and sounds of flowing water in rock creek, leisure walking along the plateau with natures cushion (pine needles lining the trail), a few switchbacks and even a little mud. This is one of my favorite trails as it challenges you a bit but not too much. A break & snack was enjoyed at the Leggett Point Overlook. Total hike was over 6 miles (AllTrails says 5.5 but the consensus among the hikers tracking their mileage, it is more like 6 to 6 ½ miles) with elevation of more than 1100’. Hikers included TTA Scenic City members: Tim Booth (hike leader), Mike and Lori Schiro, Dave Graham, Randy Medley, Tom McNally, Tammy Hendrick, Suzanne Thigpen, Mike Wolford, Tom McElhone, Betsy Darken, and TTA Plateau member: Mary Carlisle.
