Wildflower Hike @ Grundy Day Loop

Located in South Cumberland State Park, this 2 mile hike loop trail starts from the entry behind the picnic shelter.  The first mile of the trail is considered easy and passes through a swampy area that consists of sandstone.  The second mile starts the descent into the gorge and runs parallel to Fiery Gizzard Creek; this section is considered moderate.  This section of trail is also the northernmost section of the famed Fiery Gizzard Trail.  You will pass many waterfalls, such as Blue Hole Falls then about a mile in you will pass Hanes Hole Falls. The trail follows both Fiery Gizzard Creek and Little Gizzard Creek for much of its route, with tumbling cascades, several waterfalls and swimming holes along the way.   There are also mountain vistas and breathtaking views of national forest lands and the Sequatchie Valley.  The trail also reflects the history of this area.
