Highlight • Viewpoint
In the late 18th and early 19th centuries (until the railway lines were built), the "gap" at Cumberland Gap was essentially the colonization of Kentucky and the American West by white settlers, who were on the "Wilderness Road" from the east coast through the Appalachian Mountains moved. The route was developed by pioneer and scout Daniel Boone, who lived in the area and is credited as a model for the "Leatherstocking" character in the J.F. Cooper's applies.
Explore that history and beautiful mid-mountain scenery at Cumberland Gap National Historical Park, which includes Pinnacle Overlook.
