Hailed as one of Tennessee's most difficult and rewarding hiking trails, the Fiery Gizzard trail starts near Tracy City. The trail goes South then heads South East until it reaches the Foster Falls trail head. Backpacker magazine once rated the Fiery Gizzard trail as one of the top 25 hiking trails in the United States. Along the trail you will get to experience about a dozen waterfalls, a few swimming holes, and several vistas. The hemlock trees are estimated to be over 200 years old. The terrain is rocky for most of the trail with several areas being very steep. It's incredibly beautiful and attracts a lot of attention within Tennessee.

I'll be attempting this route on Sunday, Nov 3rd 2024. I'll be going southbound, uphill. I'll be tracking with Strava and uploading a trip report to Instagram and here.
