2 Hikes 2 Walks 1 Nice Day .3 by Dave Hileman

Our second hike was not too long but very interesting. It too, like yesterday’s short walk around the lake, was at Pickett State Park in Tennessee but this time to a cave. You start down about 25 steps, familiar process with hikes here, and then walk about 1/3 mile to this vast arched open cave. It went in quite a distance and the effect was of an amphitheater where you might come to hear a concert. There was a small stream fed by water dripping down the walls of the cave and filled with rhododendron that must look beautiful in the summer.
