Just a few pictures from a day hike on Signal Point. The trail from Signal Point is part of the Tennessee River Gorge Segment of the Cumberland Trail and goes to Rainbow Falls, Edwards Point, the Prentice Cooper State Forest and finally to the Cumberland Trail State Park (a linear state park in Tennessee). I am not going to give trail details, etc..., but follow the links below for more information.
