Black Canyon Falls in December 2009
Black Canyon Falls seems to be appropriately named. The sky was moderately cloudy on the day that I visited the Fiery Gizzard Trail, but there was still some sun. When trying to photograph this particular waterfall, it was rather difficult. The rock consistently showed up as being very dark in all of the pictures. The rock surrounding the falls seems to absorb light very well, hence the appropriate name.
The hike to the falls was enjoyable even for a late December. I lucked out because the weather in Tennessee turned not-so-nice just a few weeks later. Still, the temperatures were very comfortable.
Directions:
- As you enter Tracy City along US-41, you should notice a sign indicating the Fiery Gizzard Trail/Grundy Forest.
- Follow the signs to the trail, where you’ll find a sign-in sheet and other information.
- This waterfall is found near where a number of trails merge.
Accessibility: 5/10 (moderate)
Height: 15′
Length of Hike: 1.8 miles round-trip
Where in the World is Black Canyon Falls?
The Waterfall Record 
I would love to visit here I am confused on what trail to take do they all lead to the fiery gizzard and you just see the three other water features along the way ?
The Fiery Gizzard Trail is rather complicated, and I really stumbled upon a number of these waterfalls without really knowing I would see them.
This map here gives directions for some of the loops.
