Lone Tree to Pitch Ridge Overlooks Loop on Little Shepherd Trail
This was a glorious hike to enjoy the fog covered views west and north of Pine Mountain. The knobs of Kentucky leading into the Ridges and Valleys of the Appalachian Mountains look like islands in the sky and this hike has plenty of spots to soak it all in.
With this being newly created trail, it needs more traffic to better define the path and even out the footing that remains somewhat slanted. I came across a number of downed trees and trimmed back a couple spots to provide a clear path. Please do NOT create side trails around deadfall. The chainsaw crew will be out there when time and resources allow.
Sunset at Lone Tree Overlook
This was a phenomenal sunset at an easy walk up overlook just outside the Kingdom Come State Park boundary. Checkout the sun setting above, behind, then below the clouds - and yes, it was that colorful!
