What a beautiful day to combine hiking & history! A great group of Scenic City chapter members came together to hike the 5-mile General Bragg Trailhead at Chickamauga Battlefield. The trail is a beautiful path through the woods that highlights important people & events that occurred in the Battle of Chickamauga. The trail is so beautiful & peaceful now that it’s almost unfathomable how much blood was shed there between September 18-20, 1863. The Battle of Chickamauga was the 2nd bloodiest battle of the entire Civil War, surpassed only by Gettysburg.
This hike lasted for 3hrs and 20 minutes with an average walking speed of 2.4 MPH and a distance of 5.4 miles
Our group consisted of group leader, Jennifer Davis, and the following Scenic City members & guests: Luke Spiekermann, Jean Smith, William Smith, Bill Ragsdale, Kathy Thelen, Tim Booth, Earl Helmer, Randy Medley, Tom McElhone, Ginny Kidd, Donnalea Day, & Craig Scott.I you would like to see a few pictures taken during this hike including a couple of maps, click here.
