About us
This meetup group is designed for people who enjoy hiking, caving, camping, backpacking, and spending quality time in the outdoors. Our group name only suggests where we we begin---because we routinely explore parts of Eastern Tennessee, North Georgia, South Central Kentucky, North Alabama, and have embarked on occasional events further from home. We're even thinking of hiking Mount Saint Helens with a profession geologist. Events primarily consist of hikes, but we do have the occasional non-hiking activities such as biking Cades Cove on Wednesdays, scuba diving, repelling, whitewater kayaking, river kayaking, simple walking and social events. If anyone wants to participate in any other activates just let us know. We have a pretty active calendar, with many events from which to choose. We plan to expand our horizons and have plenty of activities for everyone, beginner and seasoned explorer, alike!
We have a Facebook page where members may post, show, and discuss their experiences easily with friends and family who are not members of THG. https://www.facebook.com/groups/TenneseeHiking/
Membership is free. However, we appreciate a $5 donation upon joining, and once a year, to cover the continuing cost of gear, etc., used expressly for the safety of our members.
