The McGill Creek Falls section is another relatively new Cumberland Trail hike. The section includes a few wonderful views, a nice waterfall at the end and some fabulous fall colors this time of year. The trail continues a little farther up the hill past the falls. Hike is 5.5 miles total, or the group can opt to hike an additional three miles out and back to Hells Kitchen, an interesting rock formation. Rated moderate to difficult.
Meet at Harriman Lowes off I-40 W Exit 350 at 8:00 am (Drive 100 miles RT. Recommended car pool rate $7).
