South Chick Creek 4.12.16

There were only nine hikers on today's hike.  Evidently many were discouraged by the prospect of rain.  However it DID NOT RAIN.  It turned out to be a beautiful day.  I would rate this hike as easy as the distance was only about six miles.  If you would like to see some pictures of wildflowers and other scenery, click here or on the South Chickamauga tab above.

As you can see, it was cold this day.  The hikers were Don, Pete, Sarah and George.  The hike was 8.5 miles and took 3 hours and  40 minutes.  I would rate this hike as difficult.  It was hoped that there would be wild flowers to look at, but there were very few.  I think it was still too cold.  If you would like to see pictures, click here or on the Cumberland Mtn. tab above.

Cloudland Canyon 4.5.16

Today's group consisted of sixteen hikers.  It was a good day for a hike and everyone enjoyed looking at the wildflowers and observing the abundance of water in the creeks.  The hike was relatively short at only 4.8 miles.  After the group reached Hemlock Falls they turned around and returned.  I would rate this hike as easy.  If you would like to see a bunch of great photos, click here or on the Cloudland Canyon tab above.

This was a long tough hike on a beautiful day.  There were a total of seven hikers going about 10 miles.  After all the rain, there was lots of water flowing in the creeks.  George said that he had never seen so much water.  Everyone was evidently busy taking pictures as there are a whole bunch to look at.  Click here or on the Retro Hughes tab above to see them.

White Oak Mtn. 3.29.16

Beautiful day for a hike.  There were eight hikers on the 4.5 mile hike.  Everyone enjoyed that the spring flowers were just coming out.  I would rate this hike as moderate.  If you would like to see another group picture or a picture of some of the flowers, click here or on the White Oak Mtn. tab above.
