Signal Point to Edwards Point
5.8-mile out and back. Rated moderate.
Join us for one of the most scenic hiking trails overlooking the Tennessee Valley River Gorge. Signal mountain is the southern tip of the Cumberland range. The trail follows bluff tops and ridges 1,800 and 2,000 ft. above sea level, drops into ravines lush with hemlocks towering over tangled growths of laurel and rhododendron, and crosses Middle, Julia, and Suck creeks. The view from Edwards Point covers a long stretch of the "Grand Canyon of the Tennessee," with historic Williams Island below on the left and the city of Chattanooga in the background.
We will began our hike at Signal point. We will hike down into the gorge via Signal point where we will cross Rainbow bridge. After crossing the bridge we will climb the ridge and ultimately make our way to Edwards Point, where we will take in all the views and have lunch. After lunch we will make our way back to Signal Point.
