Today, my wife and I went on our first day hike in Tennessee. The location was Burns Branch which is located along the Natchez Trace Parkway. The hike starts out pleasant and meandering along the banks of the Burns Branch Creek. As you continue, you begin a quick ascent up to Duck River Ridge (Tennessee Valley Divide). The divide separates the Cumberland and Tennessee river water sheds. The hike took 2.5 hours with a nice lunch break at the end of the trail.
