Trails, gear and other reviews from Kentuckiana hikers
Last Sunday, I hiked the Ramsey Cascades trail in the Great Smoky Mountains. The picture below was the payoff, the Cascades were frozen under crisp blue skies. You can check out all of the pictures here.
The Smokies have had snow at elevation since October and the park expects an especially harsh winter. Roads are closed to Clingman’s Dome as well as the Blue Ridge Parkway on the North Carolina side of the park.
Starting the first week of December, I’ll run down the Kentuckiana trails I’ve hiked this year, including a round up of Great Smokey Mountains trails as well. I’ll begin with Jefferson Memorial Forest, which will include the Horine Reservation, Scotts Gap/Siltstone and Paul Yost sections of the forest. I’ll also review my favorite images from the trails this year.
I hope you enjoy this blog and I hope you’ll help participate and make this an excellent guide for area hikers. Let me know what you think and feel free to suggest any improvements.
