| The following is written on a sign at Millikan's Overlook. Thanks to the Park and TDEC for the information. "Millikan's Overlook is one of the most inspiring vistas found in Fall Creek Falls State Park. It is named in honor of Dr. Glen Millikan, Vanderbilt physiologist, who fell to his death in a climbing accident in May, 1947. This point faces northward into Cane Creek Gulf. As you look into the deep gulf, and Piney Creek Gulf to your left, let your mind wander. Try to imagine this area thousands of years ago as a tiny stream meandered across the hard sandstone rock, exposed near the top of the gulf, and gradually cut down to the existing stream bed below. If only the majestic hemlock and yellow poplar found in the gulf could talk- what a story they could tell. Just to your right, a short trail leads to Buzzard's Roost. If you're looking for a nice quiet place to "re-create", take the short walk and enjoy the stiff wind in your face. There is a good chance a "buzzard" may fly by to investigate. In memory of David H. Nabi, young naturalist." Millikan's Overlook and Buzzard's Roost are accessed by the park road leading to Piney Falls. Click here for a park map. |
