Saturday, October 31 - Window Cliffs and Burgess Falls Hike - 7:30 AM sharp!

Join us for a trip to a truly unique geological landmark and one of the best waterfalls in Tennessee!

We’ll start with Window Cliffs, a 5.75-mile out-and-back moderate trek featuring multiple stream crossings and a dramatic finish right atop the "windows" cliff tops. Following a short break for lunch, we’ll take a quick 1.25-mile easy stroll along the Burgess Falls trail to view the top of the spectacular falls before heading home. Expect to return to Mt. Juliet around 2:30 PM.

Fitness Note: If you can hike Mossy Ridge or both ridges at Radnor Lake in under 2 hours, you'll do great on this trail.

Meeting Location and Time: Cracker Barrel – Mt. Juliet (I-40, Exit 226A) - meet at 7:15 AM for 7:30 sharp departure

What to Bring & Prepare:
  • Gear: Water shoes or shoes/sandals you can easily slip on for 2+ creek crossings (depending on recent rain).
  • Protection: Much of the trail is exposed to direct sun, so bring sun protection, plenty of water, snacks, and a sack lunch.
RSVP & Safety:

RSVP on the event page is required. Group size is strictly limited for trail safety, so please let the leader know if your plans change and you need to cancel.

Tuesday, November 3 - Membership Meeting - begin gathering 5:30 PM, meeting at 6:30 PM

Join us for our November Membership Meeting as we check out a brand-new (to us) spot — Mill Creek Brewing Company in Nolensville!

Come out starting at 5:30 PM to grab a craft brew, order some food, and socialize before our brief meeting at 6:30 PM. Trip leaders will be on hand to answer questions and get you set up for our upcoming ski season trips. Since this is our first time meeting at Mill Creek, let’s bring out a great crowd and make a fantastic impression!

RSVP: Please RSVP on the event calendar so we can provide an accurate head count and ensure the brewery has enough space and dedicated servers ready for us.  Please RSVP as soon as you know you can attend.  It really helps us prepare the restaurant if we have a good head count more than 24 hours in advance!

Parking: Free parking is available in the lot surrounding the brewery.

Travel Tip: Evening traffic in and out of Nolensville can get busy around this time of day, so be sure to check your favorite route planner to map out the best path!

Members, Guests, and Visitors are always welcome!
