Hikes with Hunter – March, 2025

Uncategorized 1 Minute

Hi. Hope all are well and being blessed of the Lord

On March 24-26, I traveled to central Tennessee to visit with our grandson Hunter.
He is a travel nurse and was working at a hospital in Dickson Tennessee (he now is working on an assignment in Madison, Wisconsin).

We went on three hikes while there:
– Monday, 03-24: Short, afternoon hike to some lakes at Montgomery Bell State Park
– Tuesday, 03-25: Hiked around 11 miles on the perimeter of Montgomery Bell State Park (Montgomery Bell Trail)
– Wednesday: 03-26, Hiked around 11 miles on the Firey Gizzard Trail located in south Tennessee in the Grundy State Forest near Monteagle, TN.

I’ve created a video on my YouTube Channel (Ken Brenner) showing the hikes in Montgomery Bell State Park on March 24-25.

I’ve also created a video showing the hike on the northern section of the Firey Gizzard Trail on March 26.

IHere are some highlights of the beauty we saw in God’s wonderful Creation.

Hunter leading the way over one of he many nice foot bridges.
The trails in this par are very well maintained.

Tuesday, 03-25

There are three shelters along the perimeter trail
Makes it more “Appalachian Trail” like
An old style privy for the second shelter
The “greenery” is actually under the clear water.
Encountered a section with many “sinkholes”
Me and a CCC guy, enjoying our time at
Montgomery Bell State Park 🙂

Wednesday, 03-26

Hunter at the start of an 11-mile loop hike on the Firey Gizzard Trail.
This trail features lots of steep ascents and descents, rocks (and rock fields), water (with rapids and falls),
and great scenery.
Very slow going in the rock fields.
The “Chimneys”
Sycamore Falls
View from Raven Point
Views from Warner Point
Note the diversity of this stream: waterfalls in the background, series of “cascades” further down.
To the God the Glory in His Creation!
How’s this for a contrast in size?

Thanks for visiting my web site, hope you enjoyed these views into the beauty and glory of God’s Creation.

God Bless!!!
