A region so green, rocky, and mossy that it seems right out of Jurassic Park
Join Teena and I on a verdant summer hike in one of Tennessee’s rugged natural areas — the Savage Gulf State Park (named after a settler — whose last name was Savage).
We’ll see mountain streams, get an idea of the nature of the trails and paths, visit a rock shelter that was used for overnight camping by Native American hunting parties for up to 10,000 years, and we will peek inside a hollow tree.
If you want to visit, you’ll be happy yo know that Tennessee State Parks have no entry fees for residents and non-residents alike.
