Walden Ridge

Walden Ridge forms the eastern wall of the Sequatchie Valley, a long, narrow strip of the Cumberland Plateau. Its steep face looks across the valley toward the plateau on the western side, while the Sequatchie River flows south along the floor between them. The ridge runs for some seventy-four miles, and its highest point is Hinch Mountain near the northern end. Farther south, the Tennessee River cuts across the line of the valley.
