June 27- Burgess Falls Beginners & Newcomers Hike, 1.5 mi., easy/mod. Burgess Falls State Natural Area is located along the Falling Water River North of Sparta on the eastern edge of the Highland Rim Plateau. The hike is only a 1.5-mile loop which leads to three waterfalls the biggest of which drops 136 feet. The trail is rated easy to moderate. However, those wishing to reach the bottom of the Big Falls will need to negotiate a 75-step metal stairway. The Butterfly Garden near the parking lot is also worth a visit. After the hike we will stop for lunch at a restaurant along the Caney River near Smithville. Contact Nabil Wakid at 615-893-7942 (nwakid@bellsouth.net).
