Give thanks for Tennessee's natural beauty while enjoying it with family and friends (new and old) during our free guided hikes on the day after Thanksgiving!
Getting outdoors on Black Friday is a tradition we've held for years, and we'd be honored to have you join us.
Join Ranger Mayfield to walk off some of that turkey during the last signature hike of 2026. This year we will be hiking around the Volunteer Loop Trail which is a 1.5-mile loop that climbs to the top of the ridge.
Participants are encouraged to bring water along with them and wear closed toe shoes.
Pre-registration is required, cost is free but feel free to donate!
