Explore mixing history with natural beauty makes the best adventure. Cumberland Gap tucked in where Kentucky, Virginia and Tennessee meet offers both. Follow the Wilderness Road as Daniel Boone did in 1775 and hike along forested ridges with spectacular panoramic views. A great trip for all but especially suited for families and youth groups.

Backpacking: Hoosier National Forest
Join us as we backpack a scenic 15-mile loop trail in Hoosier National Forest that circles two beautiful lakes as our path winds over rolling hills in a mix of deciduous and coniferous forest. Wildlife is plentiful and the lakes offer great fishing and exploration. This trip is ideal for the beginning backpacker, families or anyone who appreciates a relaxing walk in the woods. Regardless of the season, this trip offers a unique perspective of a changing, middle-aged forest with an abundance of tree, botany and animal species. One of our local favorites!
