Cumberland Gap - Tri-State Peak

Hiked the tri-state peak trail.  You start at the Thomas Walker Parking Area.  The trail is 1.2 M to the top.  It's a steady uphill to the top where you can stand in Kentucky, Virginia, and Tennessee.  The entire hike was 2.4 M with 503 EG.  

Cumberland Gap - Pinnacle Overlook

 This isn't a hike but just an overlook you drive to and walk about 600ft to the view.  According to the kiosk you can see the Tru-State Peak (Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee) but there is not a marker or anything.  

Cumberland Gap - Ewing Trail to Sand Cave and White Rocks Overlook

 This was a really good hike to a sand cave which is a football field size cave filled with sand and the White Rocks Overlook which has a great views.  You start at The Thomas Walker Civic Park which has bathrooms and a picnic shelter.  It is a steady climb for a while.  There are some root balls to go through since the storm.  You can tell a lot of cleanup has been done.  I've never seen anything like the cave before.  An interesting feature on the hike. This was a 9 M with 2024 EG hike.

Cumberland Gap - Lewis Hollow Trail - Wilderness Rd Campground to Skylight Cave

Got to the campground later on the afternoon and did a short hike to Skylight Cave.  This was the Lewis Hollow Trail that starts near the campground office.  You can only go into the cave May through Sept because of the hibernation of bats so we were not able to go in.  Then walked around the campground a little bit.  Nice short hike and if you go in the summer you can go inside.  It was 3.6 M and 589 EG.
