North Cumberland WMA Sundquist Unit Riding Area — Attraction in Tennessee

Beautiful trail to the top of the mountain. The walking trail at the top to the elk viewing platform is worth the walk. It's about a mile each way but not too strenuous. There's a resting bench about halfway. Be careful we did see a couple snakes on the walking trail. The views are amazing once to the viewing platform.
