There were 12 hikers on the Foster Falls hike today. We started at the Foster Falls trailhead and had a group picture taken at the overlook. There's a new set of wooden stairs as you start the descent down to the falls. The trail has been improved also with stone steps and rock borders. Half the group decided to take the climbers loop trail to the meet up with the others who backtracked back up the steps and took the trail over the falls on the Fiery Gizzard trail. We met on the Fiery Gizzard trail and hiked on to see views of the gorge. We had lunch at a nice overlook and the weather was perfect.
After hiking Foster Falls the hikers from Murfreesboro (Jan, Jay, Joni and Sara) decided to hike to the waterfalls in Denny Cove. Except for Sara, the others had never been there before. We hiked to the overlook and then continued on to the waterfalls. It was well worth the rock hopping to get the waterfalls. We saw some rock climbers but otherwise we had the trail to ourselves.
Hikers were Jim Barritt, Jay Brain, Joan Hartvigsen, Richard McClure, Joni Perrine, Sara Pollard, Jan Safavi, David Sehrt (new hiker from Nashville), Cynithia Skidmore, Kathy Stutts, Reba Walters, and Jack Walters.
