Pine Mountain Trail Conference
Tasked by the Kentucky State Legislature to promote, construct, and manage a continuous hiking trail, with related spur, connector, and access trails, to be called the Pine Mountain Trail, and to conserve the natural environment of the Trail and its adjacent lands. The Trail shall run from the Breaks Interstate Park to Cumberland Gap National Historical Park, along the Pine Mountain ridge over the summits and through the scenic points of interest, so as to render the mountain accessible, principally for primitive camping, backpacking, and hiking. The Trail shall be a means for showcasing the wild highlands and conserving the natural and cultural heritage of Appalachia for future generations.
