Shakerag Hollow on Monteagle Mountain in Sewanee was the destination for Spring wild flower enthusiasts on Tuesday, March 25th. We had a large group of nineteen souls out for a “perfect” weather day to take a stroll in the woods. While the Spring blooms were Juuuuuussssssst beginning to emerge, it was an otherwise enjoyable occasion. It was an in and out trail – mostly descending “in” and ascending (back) “out”. It was an approximately 6 mile round trip. Because of the large turnout, we split into two groups for the occasion. The faster group who reached the end, actually caught up with the second group on the strenuous return back to the trailhead, so all finished up about the same time. We followed up the hike with fifteen hungry and thirsty hikers at Papa Ron’s Italian restaurant in nearby Monteagle for an EXCELLENT lunch? A day well spent!
