We will see panoramic views of the Tennessee Valley, a large sink hole, and for the first time with the TTA, Panther Knob Trail which passes through a chimney-like stone formation; then the Stone Cuts Trail which passes through deep erosional clefts in a section of limestone on the top of the mountain with high walled, cave-like cuts. There will be two 200 foot elevation drops and two 200 foot elevation gains; each one in about ½ mile. Please note that there will be a $3 ($1-62 yrs+) per person fee to get into the park. After our hike we will have lunch at a local restaurant. We will leave from the Cracker Barrel on Church Street at Interstate 24, Exit 81 in Murfreesboro at 8:00 AM.
