Discription:
On this full-day canyon adventure we enjoy a scenic 2 hour drive as we journey southeast of Nashville and deep into the heart of the Cumberland Plateau to the largest state protected wilderness in Tennessee. This is a geologically rich, biodiverse region of middle Tennessee features numerous state parks and natural areas packed with awe inspiring waterfalls, mysterious caves, and breathtaking vistas.
We will hike alongside beautiful creeks, see up to 5 waterfalls, see an abandoned coal mine, and a Continental Trail Wreck! That's right! We get to see up close and in-person the result of when two continental plates collided some 270 million years ago. How cool is that!?
This is 4.5 to 5 mile hike alongside beautifully pristine creeks. Relaxing sounds of flowing rapids and birds fill the air as we enjoy our day hiking in one of the best nature preserves in Tennessee. Along with all the inspiring water works, you will enjoy the stunning rock formations.
Worth noting: this trail is rated as one of Backpacker Magazine's Top 25 hikes in the U.S.!!
