Fairfield Glade Hiking Club

Here are 4 pictures from the Fairfield Glade Hiking Club trip last Friday to the Savage Gulf, State Natural Area. The bridge was one of those swinging kind that you always see the bad guys chopping at in the jungle movies.

The stone cliff is typical Tennessee landscape, especially on the Cumberland Plateau. Near this location was the "Stone Door", which is a crack in the rock that allows you to walk through to the bottom of the cliff, 154 steps down.

This is one of the three waterfalls that we hiked to on Friday. Nearly all of the Hiking Club hikes go to a waterfall. I am not sure what hiking clubs do in other states, but we usually have a destination with a nice waterfall vista.


And finally, here is Nancy by a different waterfall. There were 28 people on this hike. The total mileage was about 6 or 7 miles

Wow--how beautiful!! I'm sure you and Nancy are just in your element! Hiking, tennis, fishing--and bluebirds--does life get any better than that? Great job on the pictures!
