Join us for this hike to one of the most popular water falls in the park. We will begin at the Rainbow Falls parking lot on Cherokee Orchard Road. The hike is 2.7 miles to the falls and back for a total of 5.4 miles. The climb to the falls is slightly over 1700 ft. on a trail that was refurbished a few years ago. The hike is rated moderate due to the climb. Because this is a popular trail, the parking fills quickly in the morning. We will start early in hopes of having ample parking spots available. After you register, e-mail the hike leader and inform him where you wish to meet for the hike (carpool or trail head).
For carpooling, meet at Kroger at 244 S Hall Rd, Alcoa, TN at 6:00am (82 miles round trip @ $0.07=$5.74 [$6.00] payable to the driver). Or meet at the Rainbow Falls Parking Lot at 7:30 am.
