Grassy Cove Segment 5

The following outcrops are located along the Grassy Cove Segment of the Cumberland Trail along Black Mountain, just southeast of Crab Orchard, Tennessee.

 

The valley or cove floor is actually a limestone sink, with these huge boulders lining the tops of the surrounding mountains. You will find rugged sandstone, bejeweled with pure white quartzite pebbles, and a maze of convoluted, fluted corridors, strange, stack-stoned chimney rocks and pillars, unexpected windows and passageways winding in glorious confusion.
