The hikes will be accompanied by expert naturalist, john johnson of UT. We will begin hiking at 11 am Central Standard Time (12 noon Chattanooga time ? EST). Early birds (10:00 am CST) may enjoy a biodiesel tractor-pulled hayride up the hill to the start of the hike. There will be a choice of a long, strenuous hike deep into the Gulf, or a shorter, more relaxed walk. Plan to take lots of pictures! You are welcome to come early to visit our gardens, hand-crafted homes, and crafts gallery, which will be open for purchases of fine nature-based crafts produced by our staff, and specialty books. If you wish, you may bring a picnic lunch to eat at one of our beautiful picnic areas in the woods. A sliding-scale donation of $5-20 will be used for our non-profit educational programs.
