    Visitor Center-Cumberland Gap-Wilderness Road
    Beautiful historic hike. Medium with only some stress as you go up to the gap. Heading up the tri-state Peak is steep, but only a 0.6 mile. Mostly downhill to campground.

    White Rocks
    A wonderful trail that has it all; a sand cave, waterfalls, and epic views. The trail is wide and graded well, not steep, but a consistent uphill for 3 miles to the overview. It’s moderately trafficked, pet and family friendly, and a thorough workout. There is ample parking in the community park.

    Historical Cumberland Gap on the Wilderness Road. Very gentle climb to the tri-state peak with many long switchbacks.

    Sand Caves to White Rocks in Cumberland Gap National Historic Park
    Super fun hike. Not that crowded, the Sand Cave was amazing. Saw a rattle snake in the trail, be aware. Was raining hard on the way down but was still enjoyable.
