Soddy Daisy TTA hike with Tom leading. Met him in Ooltewah and no one else showed up (hot July day?) so we carpooled to the Ocoee area. Pretty drive, too early for the whitewater folks so it wasn't too crowded driving along the River. We were the only ones at the trailhead. It's a pretty trail, 1.7 miles to the waterfall. Well signed at the trailhead and the junctions. Two creek crossings, no mishaps. Saw a couple of newts, snails, and some pretty flowers. As we started back we met several hikers. When we got to the trailhead the parking lot was full. As we drove back along the lake we could see the rain clouds moving in. Glad to get off the trail before the downpour.
Fine morning for a hike.
Most pictures taken by Tom.
