Join Born Wild for a three-day journey thru the Savage Gulf in Tennessee! This is a great escape to the winter wilds! There are some very cool things to see on this wilderness journey like Greeter Falls, the Great Stone Door, and an underground river! Sign up today and claim your spot!


Day One (5.0 miles): We will start with an easy first mile along the rim until we descend thru the Great Stone Door into the gulf. From the bottom of the door, it’s a little more that 3 rocky miles to the Saw Mill campsite.
Day Two (7.2 miles): Today will be a big day! Our path will follow the rocky bottom of Big Creek Gulf. We will cross a few wooden foot bridges, pass a few sink holes, and watch the creek disappear and reappear before we climb back to the rim at the Alum Gap campsite.
Day Three (4.1 miles): Our last day is an easy but scenic walk back along the rim to the ranger station where we started.
