Waterfalls, waterfalls....


Wow, Tennessee is a state of waterfalls! We have seen many since we moved here and we saw many more on the two day hiking trip we took Thursday and Friday with the Fairfield Glade Hiking Club. Twenty-four of us traveled about 1 and one half hours south to an area northwest of Chattanooga. We also visited Sewanee University of the South for lunch at the campus cafeteria and then a short tour of some beautiful architecture styled after Oxford University in England.

In the evening we had a wine and cheese gathering and then dinner. We stayed overnight in Monteagle, Tennessee. On the way home we stopped at two other State Parks for short waterfall hikes.

While hiking we saw deer, turkey, and an Eastern Racer (snake), and many,many wildflowers, including violets, bluebells, dutchman's breeches, and wild iris.

We had a fun and beautiful couple of days!
