Pretty much all of my favorite places to visit in TN either include one or both of these elements.

This was really sketchy, had to do a blind down climb over the edge to drop down to this lower overhang, reward was a 200’ high view of the valley below.94B4E533-69EF-40A3-8A13-C32ED4239296.thumb.jpeg.48c8005cb663a97c447542997c6dbd8c.jpeg8D948588-A549-439F-B6AA-55500CC676B3.thumb.jpeg.efd7b6dcfbb303ce11fd5bb273b0cbbb.jpegC2FA9FA1-39F2-40CF-BF5D-672DD1BD5496.thumb.jpeg.2816fa631009d62fe4d6465e1146d1eb.jpegBAC48021-73E2-462B-B7AE-F6E12754F0E7.thumb.jpeg.f06a53467cb0fb7855ce73351884ecc8.jpeg

Dunbar cave state park, this one is 5min. from my house. Small park, but super cool. Usually walk the trails at least once a week.21B041EF-65FA-4968-966D-62EC85A28454.thumb.jpeg.7e0f0119f89af5be010c1e14a6ba8e57.jpeg

@teddytn These all look wonderful.  If there is anything I wish I could import into Florida, it is landscapes like this with lots of rocks and elevation changes.  Where I live, I'm near one of the higher points on the peninsula, but it isn't even 300ft above sea level.

Same but opposite for me, I think I’m here for good, but I love the ocean and wish I was a little closer. Almost 8 hours south or east. A more favorable climate for palms wouldn’t hurt either! Lol

Dunbar cave state park. The pond is fed from an underground stream that runs through the cave system. Caves run through all of Tennessee and Kentucky. Beautiful and cool to explore, but the whole region is prone to sinkholes as well. Dunbar cave does cave tours weekly. The mouth of the cave and the cave itself have been used for local gatherings, concerts, and as a store house for grain in the 1800’s-to early 1900’s. Local Native Americans used the cave system for presumably 1000’s of years before that. All the trails have exposed rock, showing hints of the cave beneath.F4AFAE42-2391-4BA8-BF09-7D6FA5F76DA9.thumb.jpeg.331db386104f9e60918efbd022848ae3.jpegD4C82F21-B351-4E0C-B40A-3070A6D3E516.thumb.jpeg.0e39d73ad85dfd1162bc0d8820320d9a.jpeg9463C938-E558-450C-B5F0-D7234FB5E26F.thumb.jpeg.cbaec03482299165b64c25362a69c54f.jpegF731A1BE-698E-402A-978D-54CE7B5A934D.thumb.jpeg.4b033a9099df8668c98f603b1ce96657.jpeg27AEC2D5-F8C3-4A58-AF7D-E6F43B5DE6DF.thumb.jpeg.c40428d46ba77a31718e2ceafc750b83.jpeg9CA1F9A1-33A8-41F8-BF64-C223458DDBBB.thumb.jpeg.617c2577ffc0f1f22c065a559e4125e5.jpegCF89F095-A820-47AF-B388-E671157C0C08.thumb.jpeg.ca8545f1bbfc8bf016e29f9565d86b56.jpeg5516E446-3649-4031-8303-0770A7D29ACA.thumb.jpeg.19e46a5549fb889c0d6d4bef03f00a79.jpeg8A474A7F-AF6A-481B-8534-C877EB13D34C.thumb.jpeg.7f8d588070614ba80e3567375c044c90.jpeg49D6A778-0BF0-497B-8FC5-6D722C91E6A5.thumb.jpeg.f190652028e98e0a1eb17844d553da24.jpeg04857F89-705F-4519-8E63-D375F7905677.thumb.jpeg.b87030ff0e8890e7f7aee3b41f89de83.jpeg97D0F205-79D8-415C-BF50-9E9B732689D8.thumb.jpeg.0ebf4051f57747386e438ba3dc0916b6.jpeg85061212-99C1-4A4C-ABFD-DF2A2B512D06.thumb.jpeg.07683b93668b478589c79f5dc6fbe3f0.jpeg2DA95B16-8C58-4000-94CD-6B60DBD367E8.thumb.jpeg.4c045270670d0ab9b01457dc8c6f52de.jpeg6C28E214-F9B8-4DE6-832F-BE886F116DCB.thumb.jpeg.1f68cf3906006aebe38b53261c21f2c9.jpegBEB5AAD4-E44B-44E4-9CE9-6B3B564DDAB6.thumb.jpeg.b9cb5f6872ae637b74c294aaec343787.jpeg60B7C318-5465-438F-B3F0-7395A871358E.thumb.jpeg.90bdee020a290ec8cb52560e295ce341.jpeg2E5ECC90-B89E-48FA-9B22-E56699B157BC.thumb.jpeg.c416316314fc56f25d56db54f4b99915.jpeg633FA506-9556-49E0-BAA9-3F25B35A707C.thumb.jpeg.46302e010386f09195659921cffeccc1.jpeg

This is something i miss about Tennessee. Having lived in Macon County, the only major "waterfall" was Winding Stairs, and there really isnt that much to it. Fall creek falls was beautiful, but burgess falls absolutely tops fall creek falls.

I think burgess is on the way to fall creek falls depending on which way you’re headed of course? Haven’t made it there yet. Sadly this year I’ve been so busy with work and it was so dry earlier in the summer we spent a lot of time here at the house watering. Haven’t been on any local outings as of late. TN is one of those sleeper states for sure, seriously beautiful in its own way.
