We will be hiking the Fiery Gizzard once a month for six months\, to raise funds and awareness for this worthwhile project. The Fiery Gizzard trail is a perenn ial favorite of the Nashville Hiking Meetup. This beautiful trail contains the best features of Tennessee hiking: a rocky gorge\, rapids and waterfall s\, and a gorgeous high-cliff lookout with expansive views of a forested go rge. The scenery cannot be beat on this one\, and it always earns rave revi ews from hikers. The Land Trust for Tennessee now has a special opportunity to purchase 6\,200 acres of this area\, which would otherwise be in danger of logging or commercial development\, destroying the views that make this trail such a treat. Cost to hike is a minimum $10 donation and 100% of p roceeds will benefit The Fiery Gizzard Project. Visit their site if you wis h to donate more\, or donate even though you can't make the hike. Our guest naturalist for the September hike will be Randy Hedgepath. This is a st renuous 10-mile loop. We will hike in the "easier" direction\, going out on the Dog Hole trail for a moderate 4.8 miles to Raven's Point\, where we wi ll take in the view and have lunch. After that\, we will descend steeply in to the gorge. For the next two miles\, the trail is exceedingly beautiful\, but this is also the section that really earns the designation of strenuou s\, due to the rocky\, slick and tricky terrain. Basically\, you will jump from rock to rock for almost two solid miles – very tiring! The final 2.5 m iles of the hike are more moderate\, though still somewhat rocky. But as a final reward\, the trail here winds past several cascades\, waterfalls and swimming holes. Bring a bathing suit and swim shoes if you want to take a d ip! Please be prepared for this long\, hot hike with plenty of water (at least two liters per person)\, snacks and lunch. Also\, due to the terrain\ , ankle-high boots are strongly recommended. With the terrain of this hike\ , the drive\, swimming\, and optional dinner after at Crust Pizza\, plan fo r this hike to take the whole day (up to 12 hours from departure to return to Nashville). We'll meet at Target and arrange carpools\, or meet us a t the trailhead: Take I-24 East about 75 miles from Nashville and exit at Exit 134 (Monteagle) Turn right off of exit ramp and pass back over the in terstate Go about 1.2 miles and turn left onto Hwy 41 (be sure you've gone at least a mile before turning - there is another Hwy 41 just after the in terstate\, and that goes in the wrong direction) Drive about 4.5 miles into Tracy City and turn right onto 3rd Street (you'll see a sign for Fiery Giz zard). This turn is next to the Electric Office Building The road winds j ust over a mile to the trailhead - there are a couple of turns so drive slo wly and watch carefully for "Fiery Gizzard" signs. Trail map We will star t at the north parking lot of Grundy Forest Natural Area and hike to Raven Point via Dog Hole Trail. The loop then descends down along the creek. \n\n Antioch\, TN 37013 - USA\n\nSaturday\, September 18 at 7:00 AM\n\nPhoto: h ttp://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/5/d/a/1/event_5783969.jpeg\n\nA ttending: 11\n\nFee: Donation: USD 10.00 per person\n\nDetails: http://www. nashvillehiking.com/calendar/14560245/ LAST-MODIFIED:20100827T202813Z UID:event_14560245@meetup.com CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20100827T123914Z DTSTAMP:20100909T025157Z DTSTART:20100918T120000Z DTEND:20100918T140000Z GEO:36.16;-86.79 LOCATION:Target - Hickory Hollow - 5330 Cane Ridge Rd.\, Behind the IHOP an d Kia dealer - Antioch\, TN 37013 - USA URL:http://www.nashvillehiking.com/calendar/14560245/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Mossy Ridge Trail at Percy Warner Park DESCRIPTION:Nashville Hiking Meetup\n\nHIKE STATS: Meeting Time: We'll be hiking promptly at 5:30 pm. Meeting Place: Deep Well trailhead of Percy War ner Park Hike Distance: 4.5 total miles Estimated Hike Time: 2 hours Di fficulty: Moderate Hike Leader: LaRae Notes: Dogs on a leash okay\; Sunset is at 6:45\, so bring a flashlight or headlamp!!! The Mossy Ridge Trail i s the longest of the three loop footpaths in the Warner Parks. It is the qu ietest and least used loop as well. An ideal training hike\, the path leave s the Deep Well trailhead and winds through rich hollows and dry ridges of the Harpeth Hills\, making frequent but never sustained elevation changes. Scattered in the woods are big trees and a spring-fed waterfall. At 4.5 mil es\, the Mossy Ridge Trail qualifies as a full-fledged hike that will not d isappoint. If it weren't for some park road crossings and a little road noi se from the highway\, hikers could be in a remote swath of Middle Tennessee back in the days when Nashvillians traveled by horse. You will be travelin g by foot in cove hardwood forests and along hickory/ oak/cedar ridges in P ercy Warner Park\, where the hiking rivals any city park in the country. © Copyright Johnny Molloy Published by Menasha Ridge Press.
