We had 9 hikers on Saturday's hike on the Cumberland Trail in the Prentice Cooper State Forest. We hiked the 10-mile Mullens Cove loop clockwise leaving the Tower Road trailhead. Our first stop was under the impressive Indian Rock House descending through a narrow stone stairwell. We then hiked along through the trees with views of the Tennessee River Gorge. We took a short break at Snooper' Rock with views of Raccoon Mountain and the Tennessee River. We had lunch at the Hemlock Branch campsite. We had some minor stream crossings, rock hopping and saw very few wildflowers. Still too early for some flowers. It was a beautiful day for a hike. Hikers were Jim Barritt, Jay Brain, Jean Breuer, Judy Fries, Joan Hartvigsen, Janet Larsen, Sara Pollard, Jan Safavi, and Bryan Tauchen.
