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.
