Welcome. We've got members from all over North America, plus a few from overseas. While you are waiting for some other replies, check out the Trip Reports forum to see whether it has some hikes from your neighborhood.
I live in NE Alabama, about 45 minutes from Chattanooga. Just up the mountain from Scottsboro.
What kind of hiking do you have up your way? I usually go to the Sipsey Wilderness in Bankhead NF, but I'm trying to expand my territory a bit.
I've found this place to be exceedingly helpful and the people friendly. I hope your time here is great!

Thanks for the welcome fella! Bear, there is actually some great hikeing all around me. My wife and kids and I relocated from another part of the state last summer. Fall Creek Falls has some great day hikes. Savage Gulf, Scott's Gulf, are not far at all and I'm probably within an hour's drive of several other great places I just haven't had an opportunity to hit yet!
Welcome! Fall Creek Falls huhh? Reminds me of a city here in California called Westlake. There is a lake there called... Westlake Lake. So is there a water falls in Fall Creek Falls called Fall Creek Falls Falls?
yeah. if Walla- Walla, Wa. had a big water falls,and everybody went there in october to see the changing of the leaves, it could be called" WALLA-WALLA's WALLA-WALLA FALLS'FALL BALL!

Fall Creek .....Falls is actually the tallest water fall east of the rocky's. It's 260', or there abouts. It's a really cool place and the best part is folks drive from miles around to go to the Smokey's and never think of coming here!! Just the way we like it!!
i hitched up to amicalola falls in north georgia in june and spent a few days up there. very beautiful, thinking about going back next week for a few days if the weather gets right.
