Guest River Gorge Hike

Five of us headed out this morning for Guest River Gorge near Coeburn.  This hiking trail is an old railroad bed and is now part of the rails to trails network.  It follows the Guest River as it flows toward Dungannon and merges into the Clinch River.  It is a total of 5.8 miles one way, but is easy walking with plenty of benches for resting.  Since we weren't navigating streams, ledges, or dodging roots, we just had a great time chatting, taking photos, and enjoying the perfect September day.  We were hoping to spot an eagle, but no luck today.  If you missed this one, you may want to go back in a few weeks because I think it will be absolutely breathtaking in mid-October!
