| Hike Summary: | Beautiful. That is all you need to know. Very scenic and too much for a day hike, trust me. I like to overnight at Laural Falls or right on the Caney Fork. Difficult trail. Lots of elevation change. Hike back out is VERY long so make sure to leave well before night. There are alot of falls and streams and amazing caves so be sure to take a camera, one that is water proof would be best. |
