Had the pleasure of hiking in an impeccably maintained park in a small town west of Nashville. Over 17 miles of mixed-use trails (horses, bikes, hikers), but thanks to a light rain I had the place to myself!

Yesterday I went out to the Savage Gulf Area in the Cumberland plateau. Did a ~13-mile loop down into this gorge and then back along the ridge top.



Popular swimming hole at Greeter Falls





Broadtree Falls was pretty quiet


Ranger Falls, near the bottom of the gorge. The creek sinks underground here during the summer.






The Stone Door, an enormous crack in the face of the bluff


Nearly walked face-first into this nest hanging directly over the trail

The popular Fiery Gizzard trail in Tennessee is being rerouted down off a ridge and in some sections are installing these ~350lb blocks (sandstone I think?) as steps.
We used a pulley system to bring them down, but unfortunately I didn't get any good action shots.

Stunning waterfall!

I had a great hike on the Cumberland Trail 'Grassy Cove' section yesterday. Began at Black mountain overlook and went across to Brady mountain overlook before heading back. 14 miles with ~3800ft cumulative gain meant I got my money's worth at a local buffet afterward.
