Itinerary:

This is a hike on the beautiful Bartram Trail involving several side trails to overlooks & summits. We had so much fun scouting this & we hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

The 1st stop is a short walk from the Jones Gap parking lot for a view of Scaly Mtn. Returning to the parking lot we hike another mile on a side trail to Jones Knob to over look the Tessentee Valley. Hiking another 2 miles we come to the trail to the summit of Whiterock Mtn, aptly named for it's rocky face. We plan to spend some time here to explore a bit.

We will pass through a pleasant forest area to Wolf Rock Overlook & return the way we came.

If time permits we will stop in Clayton for dinner. If you do not wish to join us please carpool accordingly.
