About this Course

Course Image

For adults aged 50 and above, we present Silver Adventures—an exceptional opportunity to immerse yourself in nature under the guidance of our expert outdoor team. With a focus on personalized experiences, our group ratios are kept low to ensure personalized attention, and we provide all necessary recreational equipment. Outdoor Chattanooga's Silver Adventure this month will lead four mile hike on TVA's Little Cedar Mountain trail. This will be a moderate but leisurely-paced hike with two climbs and two descents, and a total of about 350 feet in elevation gain. Wildflowers should have a show this time of year! "The trails wind past limestone outcroppings, through boulder fields and alongside historical stone walls—farmsteads that formerly populated the region. It’s a junior geologist’s dream. As you make your way up to the overlook, you’ll be offered stunning vistas of Nickajack Reservoir through leafless trees. A small pond provides water for wildlife, which in the summer include salamanders and frogs, and in the winter deer, turkeys and even elusive coyotes." Reservations are required. Transportation is provided to and from the trail.
