<br>The Great Channels are an unusual geological maze of large sandstone boulders and eroded crevices. Bonus is that the formation is up on a ridgeline, thus also great views. The time required for this outing (both driving and hiking) is longer than what the club has defined for beginners and families. Departure time is 1PM from the parking lot below the “McDonalds” construction in Colonial Heights. The 56 mile drive to Hayters Gap will take 75-90 minutes north on I-81 and then winding up the mountain. The three mile path is now officially part of the Brumley Mountain Trail starting out as wide forest service road and then narrowing to a hiking trail with 1,100’ elevation gain. We’ll enjoy exploring the channels and a snack before returning to the cars. Expected time back in Kingsport is 7-8PM (which is still before sunset), so some may stop for fast food. For further information, check the trail wiki or call/e-mail the hike leader. | <br>The Great Channels are an unusual geological maze of large sandstone boulders and eroded crevices.
