After all the rushing around of the Christmas Season, we will all need a break, so join us Saturday, January 2, 2021 for a beautiful ride in the mountains. We will be teaming up with OP 2, being led by Shane and Lisa Woodson, to enjoy a day in the saddle on Wolf Creek Trail. We will also hold a short meeting, so come prepared with topics you would like to discuss.
We will meet at the trail head and ride out at 11:00 am. From Greeneville, take 107 (Houston Valley Road) approximately 8-9 miles towards Del Rio passing Burnett Gap and Meadow Creek Fire Tower Road. Turn left onto highway 25/70 at the stop sign. Go over the bridge and travel approximately 2.5 miles to Wolf Creek Road on the right. Before the road, you will see a brown forest service sign for the trailhead and at the road you will see a sign for Wolf Creek Church. At the church, bear right following the trailhead sign (0.2 mile after turning onto Wolf Creek Rd.) and continue for 0.4 mile to another right. BE SURE TO TAKE THIS RIGHT or you will go up a very narrow mountain road with no place to turn around for several miles! If you miss this turn, keep going and you will eventually come to a place where you can turn your trailer safely. After the second right, continue for about 0.2 mile to the parking area on the left. Once you leave Wolf Creek Road, the road going in to the parking area has lots of pot holes and is a one lane road. The gravel parking area will accommodate up to 6-7 trailers if parked carefully.
This is an in and out ride four (4) miles up and four miles back; about 3.5 hours round trip. The Wolf Creek Trail is a mostly single-track trail through the forest paralleling Wolf Creek for a majority of the ride. There are lots of rocky creek crossings and the depth of the water varies depending on rainfall, however the trail also has areas with few rocks. When you begin to hear the waterfall, you know you are close to the top of the mountain!
Hope to see you there to start our New Year off right!
