Can anyone recommend some good hiking trails in or around Nashville? My wife and I will be in the area next weekend with our dog and we'd love to hit the trails for a relatively long, strenuous hike (5-10 miles). We're looking for something within an hour's drive of the city, preferably with some elevation gain. Any trail suggestions -- or even Web sites that could point us in the right direction -- would be appreciated. Thanks!

Edwin/Percy Warner park(s)...some "hills" but not much of what I would consider elevation gain around Nashville until you get into East TN.

I agree. Try Natchez Trace too, though.

I'd say "see you on the trail", but you are "SeldomSeen"

Beaman Park.

We don't see many other people on the trails when we hike there. Very quiet and isolated.
