What a beautiful day for a hike. It was a very clear day with a slight breeze blowing. There were twelve of us on this hike which was just under 5 miles. After carefully traversing many boulders, we arrived at the falls. The falls were running just right and it was so beautiful. Some of the hikers thought it was the best falls they had seen in Tennessee. We began our trek back and reached a point where it was possible to to take a spur trail up to where the rock climbers liked to do their thing. Some of the hikers decided to remain on the current trail and seven hikers decided to take the Buffet Trail back. This was probably a mistake as we lost the trail a couple of times and and had to do some bushwacking. When we were on the trail it was great. Off the trail not so much. We finally joined the rest of the group and hiked to a lookout point. Turned out to be a great hike except yours truly took a spill and split open the bridge of his nose. Not so bad though. This hike took about 3.5 hours. Following the hike we went to Lookout Winery and had some very good pizza.
