Tennessee Citizens for Wilderness Planning is leading a 3-mile round-trip hike April 20 up a mountain on a new section of the Cumberland Trail. This is a good hike for spring wildflowers.

To carpool from Oak Ridge, meet at 8:45 a.m. at the Gold’s Gym/Books-a-Million parking lot (at the end close to South Illinois Avenue, near Salsarita’s). Or meet the group at the Shell Station on the south side of the Peavine Road exit in Crossville at 9 a.m. Central (10 a.m. Eastern).
