What we’re about
"I chose the road less travelled… Now I don’t know where I am."
"Never follow someone else's path unless you're in the woods and you're lost, and you see a path. By all means, you should follow that." - Ellen Degeneres
"Bring a compass. It's awkward when you have to eat your friends." - Unknown
So maybe we caught your interest?
Quick note then I’ll tell you what we’re about. We’ve never gotten lost or had to look at members as a food source. This is Chattanooga Outdoor Adventures not the Donner Party (some of you will get that).
We enjoys the outdoors in all forms. Events like Hiking, Rafting, Kayaking, and everything else.
But wait there’s more! I sound like a Ginsu knife commercial. Let’s not let any of the Donners have one of those.
We also plan other great activities in and around Chattanooga. Not just hiking. Musical events, food and wine festivals. A concert in a cave, you get the idea
It’s an open group and would love to get everyone involved and plan a lot of different things. Inclusion and fun are key.
Not just hiking, Adventures of all kinds

Now for my Paul Harvey Moment...
Ernő Rubik created the Rubik's cube while teaching architecture, aiming to model 3D structures in Hungary. In the late 1970s, it was licensed and renamed by Ideal Toy Corp for its international launch, becoming the iconic "Rubik's Cube" Oh and Ernő it took him a full month to solve his own puzzle and he was a math dude.
Furthermore Solving a Rubik's Cube is excellent for your brain, boosting cognitive skills like memory, problem-solving, and spatial reasoning, while also improving focus, patience, and hand-eye coordination through pattern recognition and strategic planning, acting as a great mental workout.
Especially Hand to Eye coordination. I mean peeling the stickers off and placing them back in the proper order is tedious and takes skill.23 attendees
SCOUTING HIKE: Coffee Branch to Chestnut Mountain - challenging
Hiwassee/Ocoee Scenic River State Park, 404 Spring Creek Rd., Delano, TN, USSCOUTING HIKE
Coffee Branch to Chestnut Mountain Summit
6.25 miles out-and-back (3.12 miles each way)
1836 ft ascent (~600ft/mile), challenging/strenuous
Map/Profile/GPS tracks - https://sartopo.com/m/010K0RV
Be among the first in the group to experience a new hike!
It's a "scouting hike" because I've only been on part of this trail (on a mountain bike years ago). If it's good, I'll post it as a larger hike in the future. The trail continues beyond what I've mapped, so we can decide as a group to keep going, or return after reaching the summit.
What to expect:
- A consistent, fairly steep ascent
- Maybe wide trails (horse trails)
- Maybe views along the way and at the top
- It will be a workout!
What to bring:
- Hiking shoes
- Layers of warm clothing
- Hat and gloves
- Poles (optional)
- Plenty of water
- Lunch
- Snacks/a source of quick energy
Weather:
Hiking in cold rain can be problematic for those not properly equipped. To include everyone, hike may be rescheduled due to weather.
