OAK RIDGE, Tenn. — The University of Tennessee Arboretum Society will host their Third Saturday Hike for August this Saturday, Aug. 17, at the UT Arboretum in Oak Ridge.
The hike is meant to be suitable for everyone and is expected to take about an hour and a half, the society said. It will start at the UT Arboretum Visitors Center and focus on the history of the UT Arboretum property before World War II when Oak Ridge became the “Secret City.”
The hike starts at 9 a.m., but Saturday is expected to be hot, humid and near 90 degrees.
There is a 20 percent chance of rain with possible spotty showers. The route could change depending on the weather.
