Come join your fellow Ski Club members as we visit a unique spot and one of the best waterfalls in the state! <br /><br />Window Cliffs is a 5.75 mile there-and-back moderate hike that has several creek crossings. Depending on recent rains, 2 or more crossings will require water shoes or removal of shoes/boots to cross. The end of the trail is a great way to conquer your fear of heights as the trail ends on top of the “windows”! <br /><br />We’ll make a stop off at Burgess Falls trail for a quick 1.25 mile easy hike to the top of Burgess Falls before heading back home.<br /><br />We will meet at the Cracker Barrel in Mt Juliet just off I-40 exit 226A at 7:15 AM to leave at 7:30 AM SHARP! It will take about an hour to reach the trailhead. The hike should take approximately 3 hours for Window Cliffs, followed by a short lunch break, and an hour for Burgess Falls. We should be back to Mt Juliet by 2:30 PM.<br /><br />Bring snacks, lunch, and plenty of water! A lot of this trail is exposed so you will get sun, and it will be hot! This hike also requires water shoes for the multiple creek crossings.<br /><br />RSVP is required for this hike and if you have any questions you can call Joe at 615.513.8121 or email to president@nashvilleskiclub.org.<br /><br />If you can hike Mossy Ridge, or both ridges at Radnor Lake in about 2 hours, you should be able to complete this hike.<br /><br />RSVPs will be strictly monitored. Group size is limited for safety. Please be kind and let the organizer know if you need to cancel. Rainout date is the following day.<br /><br />See our standard disclaimer/waiver on the Upcoming Events page. Attending this event assumes you agree with the statements.
