Hey Hikers! Sorry for the short notice, but in the winter we tend to have impromptu day hikes based on weather and availability.
This hike is for any member that is interested in coming along. Using the Midlife Hiking Club Rating System (See our website for details) this hike is rated at 12.38 and considered strenuous! The last time we hiked this trail was in 2014 with beautiful summertime weather. Please be prepared for the Smoky Mountains in the winter.

The Ramsey Cascades Trail gains almost 2200 feet in elevation over its four-mile course, and is considered to be a moderately strenuous hike. However, hikers should note that the trail travels over some extremely rugged terrain over the last third-of-a-mile or so, making this a fairly difficult hike.
We plan on meeting at the trailhead around 10:00 am on Sunday and returning to the trailhead by 4pm on Sunday.
