ARE YOU UP FOR A LAST MINUTE HIKE?

It's a last minute posting, but what better way to spend a fall Saturday than to be hiking and enjoying some beautiful waterfalls not too far from home.

We'll carpool a little over 90 miles into TN and hike to three different waterfalls including the "Secret" waterfall on Rock Creek, but only after some root grabbing on the way up, and some butt sliding on the way back down. We can have lunch at the lovely "Secret" waterfall on Rock Creek and after driving a short distance to our second trailhead, we'll hike another three miles roundtrip for a total of 6 moderate miles for the day.

This lovely waterfall hike has two shallow water crossings.

  • 2 liters of water
  • Trail snacks
