From the visitor center well drive to trail head, after we we get ready, well hike to our first overlook and enjoy the magnificent view, after the view well start a gradual descent down the trail to the river, after crossing the river, well start our long uphill climb, but youll enjoy a interesting rock formations and small cave like places, when we get to the the top of the canyon, well cross few streams, and a nice giant rock formation, well take a brief water break here on the rocks, and well continue on further to see some overlooks, well eat lunch at the last overlook on the trail, after the lunch break well back track the trail, since the rest of the trail is not scenic at all. after crossing back over the river well hike toward the 2nd waterfall, but just before that youll see a resting area under a huge rock, well take a short break before our long descent down many stairs to the 2nd waterfall, after enjoying the waterfall, well begin our climb back up the stairs and off to the 1st waterfall, on the way to 1st waterfall has almost no stairs but few hills to hike down, and well come to a 1st waterfall up close and personal, its great to come here and soak our feet after long hike and relax and enjoy the magnificent waterfall and emerald green pool of water under it. (lots of incredible grand views, waterfalls and beautiful scenery, I know for sure youll enjoy it.) After the hike we will be eating supper in Tennessee, Chattanooga Choo Choo at Gardens Restaurant, I always stop here for dinner when Im in Chattanooga.
