## 📅 Date & Time

Wednesday, May 13
Meet: 5:40 PM (TVA Visitor Center)

## Overview

Midweek reset. Fresh air. Movement. Good people.

This evening hike takes us along the River Bluff Trail at Norris Dam State Park—a scenic route overlooking the Clinch River at a steady, conversational pace.

We’ll move for about an hour, shake off the day, and get a little distance under our feet without overcomplicating it.

This is a great option if:

• you’re coming straight from work
• you want something active but manageable
• you’re looking to get outside without committing your whole evening

## Route

We’ll follow the River Bluff Trail, approximately 3 miles total including the access trail.
Terrain is mostly:

• dirt trail
• light elevation changes
• well-defined path

## Distance & Difficulty

• Distance: ~3 miles
• Difficulty: Easy to Moderate
• Pace: Conversational, steady

## Meetup & Parking Plan

We’ll meet at the TVA Visitor Center (Norris Dam) and carpool to the trailhead.

• Meet: 5:40 PM
• Depart for trailhead: 5:50 PM
• Step-off: 6:00 PM sharp

👉 The trailhead parking area is small. Carpooling helps ensure we all get in without issues.

## Optional Post-Hike Meetup

We’ll head over to Clinch River Brewery after the hike for anyone who wants to stick around.

• ~5 minutes from the trailhead
• casual, no pressure

👉 Good chance to grab a drink, some food, and connect with the group.

## What to Bring

• Day hiking backpack (required)
• At least 1 liter of water (more if it’s warm)
• Snacks (optional)

## Safety & Participation

By attending, you acknowledge and accept the inherent risks of outdoor activities.

Please review the Fierce Planet Adventures Safety & Terms of Participation prior to attending.

## Notes

• Limited cell service in parts of the park
• We will stay together and regroup as needed
• Arrive on time so we can move as a group

## What This Is (and Isn’t)

This is:

• a midweek reset
• movement + fresh air
• low barrier, high benefit

This is not:

• a long endurance hike
• a fast-paced push

## Final Word

You don’t need a big plan to get stronger.
Sometimes you just need to show up, move, and reset.
Live Fiercely.
