Hiking in the Tri-Cities
A great view from a house on the Nolichucky River |
There are many activities to take part in throughout
the Tri-Cities. For those who love being outdoors hiking is a great escape.
Hiking in our area is beautiful, and so much fun! Some of the most popular
hiking areas are the Appalachian Trail, Lacy Trap & Laurel Fork Trails, and
Buffalo Mountain Trails. The Appalachian Trail starts in Maine and goes through
14 states on its way. It crosses into Tennessee when it gets to the Nolichucky
River, while here its elevations are often above 5,000 ft. Lacy Trap & Laurel
Fork Trails are part of the Appalachian Trail and are more difficult 15 mile
loop hikes. The Buffalo Mountain Trail is a three mile hike that will take all
day. Once to the top you can see all of Johnson City. All of these hiking spots
are very popular, absolutely beautiful, and all local so don’t hesitate to
explore what the natural aspect of the Tri-Cities has to offer.
