Adventures In Tennnesee
Tennessee is a quick go-to getaway. Chattanooga is under two hours from home, close enough for a day trip and easy to stretch into a weekend when the plans allow. Some trips are about chasing waterfalls, others are spent underground or around a campfire.
Burgess Falls is my favorite of them all. I've been several times over the years and it never gets old. The trail follows the river past a few smaller falls before opening up to the main one, and that first view is worth every step.
Caving is where Tennessee really stands out. There's a whole world below the surface with over 12,000 documented caves, and some of it even comes with a soundtrack. I've caught concerts at The Caverns, where the stage sits inside a cave. Between the waterfalls, the caves, hiking and the campsites, it's a state I keep coming back to.
