First Day Hike with TAG

Today one trend that you saw plenty of were people joining up for first day hikes across all the State parks.  Our TAG Families-Knoxville crew decided to head up to Norris Dam State Park and do a little first day hike/exploring of our own:-)  The park has a great selection of hiking trails to try.

(Below is the hiking descriptions taken for their website)

We started our day on the Lakeside Trail...it is one of my favorites plus it is easy enough for all skill levels.




Then we ventured up to the overlook.  The kiddos thought this was super neat.





Our last stop of the day was a 2nd overlook.  This one is at the top of Reservoir Hill Rd. and it is my absolute favorite spot!!:-)
