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

Weekly Trials. Tribulations and Photos experienced while hiking

St. Elmo, 6.18.2024

A dozen Scenic City hikers walked through the beautifully shaded Forest Hills Cemetery to see the final resting place of many of those responsible for the growth of Chattanooga.  Our urban hike continued for a few blocks past impressive old homes to the hawkins Ridge footpath.  Only the sounds of traffic indicated that the wooded, hilly path was in the middle of the city.  Coming back to the city streets, we had a quick break for treats from the Hot Chocolatier before taking the Virginia Avenue Greenway back to our cars.

The Procrastinator's meeting has been postponed indefinitely.  

Cloudland Canyon 6.15.2024

Six hikers went on the Cloudland Canyon hike.  The hikers were Larry, Tom, Linda, Joan,  Martina and Julia.  We spent the day visiting every waterfall and overlook in the park.  Three hikers had never been to Cloudland Canyon before.  The group hiked the Overlook Trail, the Waterfalls Trail and the West Rim Trail.  The hikers were from Ringgold, GA, Soddy Daisy, Ooltewah, Winchester, Murfreesboro and Memphis.
