This part of the Tennessee Rock Trail was beautiful, if somewhat taxing. Just beyond this sight of wonder was the beginning of a series of switchbacks that led uphill rather steeply. This trail was only 2.2 miles, but it took us three hours to complete...too many spots to stop and take a picture.

Finally the summit! The marker reflects an altitude of 3,640'. Even this butterfly had to stop for fuel and rest before continuing on...Before you actually head down, you hit the overlook where the distant views are breathtaking...
