Overnight Backpacking in Chattanooga, TN

We go out on an overnight backpacking trip in Chattanooga, TN. We start at the Rainbow Falls Trailhead on top of Signal Mtn and finish at the official start of the Cumberland Trail in Prentice Cooper State Forest. We have a great hike with some great views and a killer campsite! Thanks for watching. Subscribe for more backpacking videos to come!

Interesting trip. More to see than I was expecting. Adding this to the short list.

Great video! Prentice Cooper's beauty never disappoints. My buddies and I begin our overnight backpacking of the Cumberland Trail in Prentice Cooper. I bet we set up camp where you guys did for that immaculate view of the sunset.

New to the area and stayed away from Chattanooga trails because... city but, you have changed my mind. Very excited to hit this trail and more.

Wow, nice! These trails are about 30-45 minutes from Chattanooga?

[@picklehead243]

do you know where i can find a map of the route you guys took

[@CarlosFlores-nn3jc]

Where you camped at, did you need to reserve that spot or is it basically first come first serve type of deal?

[@colbywilson66]

Don’t camp in this spot it’s not a designated camp spot

[@bokehbabe]

What point is that really long bridge?

Yes the sign says no overnight parking. This site said overnight parking was allowed.
