Cloudland Canyon is located just Southwest of Chattanooga, TN with many tails to hike.  The view of the rim for the main area is wonderful.  One of the trails, The Waterfalls Trail, which leads to Hemlock Falls and Cherokee Falls is described as "a paved section, at the main overlook, and progresses into the canyon along a 40-degree slope. Most of the trail consists of gravel, and a 600-step staircase."  The best time to hike the trail is in the springtime, when the weather is cooler and the water confluence is heavier.  We did it in the summer...
