Heiss Mtn. to Soddy Daisy 11.29.14

11.29.14    This hike was from Heiss Mtn. to Soddy Daisy City Park for a distance of 6 miles.  Originally the hike was scheduled for 12 miles, but because of football games it was shortened.  This was still a strenuous hike and there was ice along the bluff that you can see in the pictures.  Everyone enjoyed the hike and got home in time for the games.  If you would like to see a bunch of pictures click here or on the Heiss Mtn. to Soddy Daisy tab above.

Sterchi Farms 11.25.14

11.25.14    On this hike before Thanksgiving Day, there were 16 hikers!  It was an absolutely beautiful day.  Nancy led this short hike which was probably the reason for so many hikers.  Every one had a great time.  If you would like to see some pictures, click here or on the Sterchi Farms tab above.        

Savage Gulf S. P. 11.21.14

11.21.14     There were 5 hikers on this very nice hike.  The hike went considerably longer than originally planned for a total of 14.7 miles!  Some hike!  I bet there were some really tired individuals that afternoon!  They started at the Savage Gulf Ranger Station and went to the Collins Rim Trail and back.  If you would like to see some pictures, click on the Savage Gulf tab above or click here.

Rainbow Lake to Signal Mtn. 11.15.14

11.15.14  This was a long strenuous hike.  It started at the Rainbow Lake trailhead and then went straight to the second bridge that crosses Middle Creek.  After crossing the bridge, the group turned onto the orange trail and hiked to the Signal Mountain HS loop.  After that the hikers went to Edward's Point for lunch and finally back to the Rainbow Lake trailhead.  It was very cold, but everybody was kept warm by the difficulty of the hike.  The distance of this hike was 9.5 miles.  If you would like to see a few pictures, click here or on the Rainbow Lake tab above.  

Fort Mountain State Park 11.8.14

11.8.14   Where was everybody?  There were only three people on this eight mile hike!  The three souls were George, Don and Tom.  It was a great hike and the weather was excellent for hiking.  Since this hike was in Georgia, it required some driving time so the hike actually started at 10:40 and finished at 3:40.  There were several beautiful overlooks on this trail.  I would rate the hike as moderate.  Thank you George for the excellent pictures.  If you would like to see a few pictures taken along the trail click here or on the Fort Mountain tab above.
