Have you seen our Trail Wiki yet? You should; it’s chock full of great information for whatever you need trail related in our area, whether it be a list of trails near waterfalls, hard trails, trails near Kingsport, the AT, or more. Did you know it’s a wiki just like Wikipedia, meaning we all can contribute? Well maybe it’s a little daunting, so I’m going to try a new installment called the Monthly Trail Wiki Challenge. If you’re not comfortable adding it yourself, just send it to me and I’ll take care of it. Each month I’ll ask for something we are missing from the Trail Wiki. Maybe it’s a picture of azaleas in bloom or a frozen waterfall, or a detailed description of a trail, or a GPS log for a trail; anything that would be helpful to others trying to decide their next outing.
This month we’ll try [[Limestone Cove Trail]] just south of Johnson City near Unicoi. Use the wiki to find out how to get there if you don’t know where it is. This time I’m asking for some pictures and a GPS log. If you have either already or this inspires you to check it out, please send them to me and I’ll get them incorporated. If you’re interested in trying your hand at editing, we can work on that as well. Good luck and thanks for helping our Trail Wiki!
A warm summer afternoon was enjoyed hiking up along the very shaded Rock Creek to view its two waterfalls. Being dry for the past week, the four stream crossings were easy “rock hoppers.” The trail was in very good condition. White rhododendron blooms filled some areas. The recreation area was very busy with Fathers’ Day gatherings with roughly a dozen folks of all ages hiking this “medium” difficulty trail. On this Sunday trek were Aaron Kelly and Vic Hasler.
