We recentlly took a photo day trip up to Stone Door. Stone Door is located in the South Cumberland Plateau State Recreation area of Tennessee.
We left very early even though it was rainy. The fog was thick as we got up on the plateau and near the Stone Door area. The visibility was about 10 foot, and we had a difficult time finding the parking area near the ranger station.
It is about a mile hike to the overlook, overlooking Laurel Gorge, and the Stone Door which is actually a 10 foot wide, 110 foot tall crevice between two bluffs. This crevice between the bluffs was used by the Cherokee Indians to climb down from the plateau to the gorge below.
The view at the overlook and from the bluff are almost too beautiful to describe. I will post a couple of images we took, but not even the images do justice to the view.
