Looking for a hike to finish out 2019 but still leave time to cheer in the New Year?  Than this hike is for you!

Join me on a fast paced hike on the Smith Creek Trail to beautiful Anna Ruby Falls. We enjoy the sounds of Smith Creek on the first half of our trek to the falls before we climb to Hickory Ridge and enjoy some views of the valley and the roar of the falls in the distance. We will stop for lunch at the falls before retracing our steps back to our cars in the campground of Unicoi State Park.

In order to get back home on time, we will be moving quickly with short breaks for regrouping and 20-30 minutes for lunch at the falls.

To join the fun you must have recent mountain hiking experience at the D4 level. The trip leader reserves the right to move inexperienced hikers to the wait list.
