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

Weekly Trials. Tribulations and Photos experienced while hiking

Rock Creek 5.14.16

On this hike there were five hikers.  The weather was near perfect with sun and light breezes.  The group ate lunch at Rock Creek before there return.  I would rate this hike as moderately strenuous.  If you would like to see a couple of pictures from this hike, click here or on the rock creek tab above.

Imodium Falls 5.21.16

Rain in the area and scattered clouds, but no rain on the hikers.  This was a strenuous hike of about eight miles.  The hikers were Boodie, Gregg, Gary and John.  Boodie and Gary did maintenance and pruning along the trail while Gregg and John hiked on to Imodium falls.  If you would like to see some pictures of the hike, click here or on the Imodium Falls tab above.  

Collegedale 5.17.16

There were six hikers on this approximately 4.5 mile hike.  The hike was on White Oak Mountain and I would rate the hike as moderate.  It was a little worrisome when the group met as it was raining slightly.  By the time the hike actually began though, the rain had stopped.  The group was kind of looking for some of the bauxite mines, but alas, no mines were to be found.  Other than the group picture, there was only one other picture taken.  If you would like to see that picture, click here or on the Collegedale tab above.

Big Soddy Gulf

This hike was led by Gregg.  It was a beautiful day for a hike.  The sky's were clear and it wasn't too hot.  I would rate this hike as difficult and the distance was approximately seven miles.  If you would like to see some pictures, click here or on the Soddy Gulf tab above.

Greenway Farms 5.3.16

There were 15 hikers on this relatively short four mile hike.  It had rained the night before so there were a few patches of mud.  The weather was just about perfect for hiking.  Slightly overcast and cool.  A few of the hikers separated from the group and went down to the quarry.  If you would like to see a few pictures, click here or on the Greenway Farms tab above.
