• Looking for a leisurely trip in the Cumberland Falls area
Author: Chilton
Posted: Sun May 04, 2008 10:55 am (GMT -5)
I'd like to plan a few day (3-4) trip in the Cumberland falls area that would include as many "Kodak" moments are possible for myself and the girlfriend. I would hopefully be bringing a dog and I think that that section is pet friendly but I'm not to sure. With the woman in tow I wouldn't expect to get more than about 8 miles done a day maybe 10 if she's in a good mood. It would be her first backpacking trip and I want to make it something that she'll want to do again... but not to good that she always wants to come along... j/k lol. I definitely want her to have fun. Any suggestions on some nice loops or out and back trips in... continues

We will be hiking from 192 north to I-75. Does anyone have waypoints to help navigate through Croomer Ridge?

Greetings, We're planning a northbound thru-hike in June and have some concerns. First of all, is there a place between Cumberland Falls and Heidelberg that we could pre drop a box of food and supplies? Next, we're a bit nervous concerning Cromer Ridge. If anyone has traveled that section lately, we'd appreciate hearing from you. We know it'll be ugly, but can we find our way? Are the trail log directions in Molloy's book adequate? Lastly, would it be safe to filter water from the ridge top wildlife ponds in the Cave Run area? Are they healthy, established pools, or swampy mud puddles that could be dry in June? Thanks to ... continues

Are there any parts of the RRG that are designated a National Recreation Area?
• Mileage and parking info
Author: Ma Rose

How accurate is the mileage in Johnny Molloy's book? We're planning on hiking from the southern terminus to either US 27 or Cumberland Falls (depending on exactly how much time we have and how fast we hike) over spring break. The distances given in his book are much different than in my other source - 5.8 miles difference to US 27, and 7.3 miles shorter to Cumberland Falls in Molloy's book.
Also, how safe is it to leave a car parked at US 27 for several days?

• finding the red line on topo maps
Author: jeanette mathern
Posted: Tue Feb 12, 2008 12:22 pm (GMT -5)
is it just my eyesight or what? the red line becomes purplish and then disappears into blues and greens...i live in menifee and just want to hike around here but can't even see where the trail crosses 460...is there a map that's more of a cross between a topo and a road map? thanks. also: would anyone like a hiking buddy? 50's retired teacher/would-be writer; healthy and not a whiner but new to this area and unfamiliar w/the trails.
• Parking and how to get to the trail

Posted: Fri Jan 18, 2008 1:41 pm (GMT -5)
Five of us are planning a north to south 70 mile hike beginning either May 24 or 25 of this year. We will be hiking from US 27 south to the visitor's center at Bandy Creek. My thought was to place one vehicle at the visitor's center and the other at Cumberland Falls campground and find someone to haul us to the trail on US 27.
Questions: Can one leave a vehicle safely at these two locations for a week? Does anyone know of trail angels in this area available and willing to transport us from Cumberland to the trail for a donation?
It's four months away but I'd like to nail down those details as soon as possible.
Thanks f... continues
