Tennessee (Middle): A favorite of mine is Savage Gulf Natural Area, part of the noncontiguous South Cumberland State Park, located about 1.5 hours southeast of Nashville. The Gulf is located on the western rim of the Cumberland Plateau and encompasses three converging gorges featuring sandstone cliffs, limestone sinks, and old-growth forest. Popular waterfalls and swimming holes are scattered throughout, as are locations of historical interest. Over 50 miles of interconnected trails and backcountry campgrounds offer a variety of options from casual plateau strolls to strenuous boulder-hopping. Rock climbing is available at the easily accessible Stone Door formation and overlook. Another nearby section of the state park is the well-known Fiery Gizzard trail, which begins in beautiful Grundy forest and has its southern terminus at the swimming and climbing destination Foster Falls.
