Greetings from Tennessee

[MammockHammock]

I'm from West Tennessee originally and now live in Middle Tennessee. 2 of my 3 kids are in school in Chattanooga area so I try to get some camping in when I go visit them. Lots of good trails nearby. Check out the Cumberland Trail - lots of sections that have not become overly populated yet. Forum member TiedUp has good posts / videos of the CT.

Sounds good, ccartertn. I’m originally from Reelfoot Lake. We lived in and around Jackson for the last 22 years. Loving it in Chattanooga.

And welcome to the forums from just south of you. You're definitely in a good area for hiking and camping.

Yes, sir. That’s a fact. Thanks.

Welcome aboard.

Thanks!

There are a quite a few Chattanooga folks here.

Chattanooga is great because it is close to so many trails.

Cloudland Canyon (BackCountry Trail) and Fall Creek Falls (Lower Loop - Overnight Trail) are great places to hammock camp. Very scenic in the fall.



Also the AT (and many other trail heads) are only about 2 hours away.

You will also find videos here from Handyman (Signal Mountain to Prentice Cooper)

WOW! Thanks for all the info and vids.

Welcome from Nashville. Agreed, Chattanooga is a GREAT location for a backpacker, ... caver, kayaker, etc. I often backpack in the area. You are welcome to check out our Meetup.com group (link below in my signature line) as we post trips convenient to you monthly.

I need an UQ even in the middle of summer ... especially at any higher elevation, but low ones too.

Thanks, Rain Man. I’ll check it out.
