Located on the western edge of Lookout Mountain, this is one of the most scenic parks in the state, offering rugged geology and beautiful vistas. The park straddles a deep gorge cut into the mountain by Sitton Gulch Creek. The most spectacular view into the canyon is found near the picnic area parking lot; however, additional views can be found along the rim trail. Hardy visitors who hike to the bottom of the gorge (including a 600-step staircase) find two waterfalls cascading over layers of sandstone and shale into pools below. Outdoor lovers should not miss this park’s spectacular scenery.

We will be hiking the Rim trail around the gorge.

Optional: If we have time and people who have the energy, they can hike down into the gorge which has about 600 steps and some waterfalls at the bottom.

Required Items to Bring:
-daypack
-hiking boots/shoes or good tennis shoes.
-layered clothing
-lunch
-high fuel trail snacks
-water 1.5 to 2 liters
-camera (optional)
