Description
Easy hike with great vista's. Covered it in a day and had plenty of daylight left for cooking and cleaning. Camping at the Stone Door campsite does get crowded if you're not in a site before dark on Friday. Laurel and Greeter Falls are worth the side trip if you've had a recent rain.

Directions to Hike
See their site at http://www.montesano.com/hikeweb/svgulf.htm
On the Cumberland Plateau between the towns of Palmer and Beersheba Springs. From Nashville, Chattanooga or Huntsville drive I-24 to the Monteagle/Sewanee exit (exit 134). Drive into Monteagle and turn onto Hwy 41 (the road isn't marked well, but it's the only major T-intersection in Monteagle). Drive to Tracy City and turn left onto Hwy 56. Follow this road 21 miles to Beersheba Springs. You'll see signs for Savage Gulf before this, but these are for hikes on the gulf's east edge. Continue through Beersheba Springs, but watch for the "Stone Door" sign on your right as you leave town. The turn off leads to the ranger station.
