• (12/10) Cumberland Gap National Historical Park is now in the stores! With local elevation relief exceeding 2,000 feet, this park offers true mountian hiking and backpacking. This park is perhaps the most visited park in Kentucky, yet only the most dogged backpacker sees the entire Ridge Trail in a weekend. Numerous trails take hikers to the summit of the mountain, and with the recent opening of the Wilderness Road accross the Gap, a multitude of looped trips can be planned. We have placed a GPS waypoint file for backpacker who hikes with a handheld GPS unit. Visit the Site

Perhaps we will throw in some trail elevation profiles so you can sweat before you hike. After you rehydrate, you can enjoy a pizza, with beer, in Tennessee or skip to Virginia for a brown bag. The park straddles three states. Read the thread for updates...
