The Murfreesboro and Plateau chapters hiked Amber's Glen, a new trail at Scott's Gulf Wilderness State Park. Sheila Miller of the Plateau chapter led the hike with 7 others. After leaving cars at the Virgin Falls trailhead, we drove to Welch's Point to begin the hike. The group photo was taken at Welch's Point and Carol Hill of Spencer joined our group but didn't make it in time for the photo. We hiked the Amber's Glen Trail down to the Caney Fork River. Morgan Brown, an experienced caver knew exactly where the Amber's Den cave was located near the river. We had lunch at Big Laurel Falls and then hiked to the Virgin Falls trailhead on the steep Hemlock Springs Trail. The hike was longer than the map indicated, and the total hike was about 7 miles. Hikers were Jay Brain, Jean Breuer, Morgan Brown, Carol Hill, Mandy Mew, Sheila Miller, Bob Obohoski, and Sara Pollard.
