Gilbert Gaul trail

This photo was taken at Fall Creek Falls State Park in Pikeville, TN. Gilbert Gaul trail
The park staff told us to go counter clockwise, but i think we were supposed to go clockwise because of the way it slowly ascends. Going clockwise would have followed the signs to the trails more easily. However, at the beginning you have the option of going either right (counter clockwise) or to the left (clockwise).
