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

Weekly Trials. Tribulations and Photos experienced while hiking

Craven's House 12.2.14

12.2.14    Twelve hikers braved this cool day with light rain.  The hike was only four miles and I think most of the hikers enjoyed the meal afterwards at the Mount Vernon.  If you would like to see a couple of pictures, click here .

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.
