At Cumberland Gap, the first great gateway to the west, follow the buffalo, the Native American, the longhunter, and the pioneer-- all traveled this route through the mountains into the wilderness of Kentucky. Modern day explorers and travelers stand in awe at this great gateway and the many miles of trails and scenic features found in the park.
