Description: First Day Hike
Location: Savage Gulf State Park
Join Ranger Jamie on the annual First Day Hike to the Big Creek Overlook and Greeter Falls. We will meet at the Savage Gulf West Trailhead (550 Greeter Falls Rd, Altamont, TN 37301) at 8:30 a.m. to begin the hike. We will begin the hike by taking the Greeter Trail to the Big Creek Overlook and on the way back we will be completing the Greeter Falls Loop Trail. This hike will be approximately 3 miles in total and is considered strenuous in certain areas- please be prepared for a challenging hike.
Please make sure you have sturdy hiking shoes, plenty of water and snacks, and are capable of completing the entire hike. We will take short breaks as needed but will also be walking for extended periods of time during the hike.
We will observe a beautiful overlook, waterfall, and we will also chat about the park and/or what we see along the way. Accessory items to help you enjoy the hike such as cameras and binoculars are encouraged but not required.

NOTE: This hike is weather dependent and will be cancelled in the case of inclement weather.
CANCELLATION: Cancellations must be made no later than 48 hours prior to the program's scheduled conclusion in order to receive a refund.
NOTICE: The areas around overlooks can be treacherous in terms of keeping your footing. The potential to slip and fall exists, and extreme care is needed.
