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

Weekly Trials. Tribulations and Photos experienced while hiking

Covenant College 12.3.2024

Eight hearty Scenic City hikers braved the first sub freezing temperatures of the season to explore the Covenant College trails atop Lookout Mountain.  We were charmed by beautiful little ice sculptures which had formed around the base of a number of plants.  

These ice sculptures are usually called Frost Flowers or Ice Flowers.  They form when water flows down a plant stem into the not yet frozen ground.  The water freezes and pushes up through the unfrozen ground.

My girlfriend told me I had to quit impersonating Flamingos, so I had to put my foot down.
