Is there a list of sections that are closed along the trace? I have read through some older post on the general discussion forum where folks are talking about closed sections. I would like to advocate for reopening sections and explaning the trail but I would like to know what the status of the trail is? How much is closed? How many miles are on roads? How many miles go through private property? Does anyone have any of this information? thanks

Might be helpful if someone could be a little clearer about the location of "The Northern Terminus". I live in Lewis County kentucky and would love to promote and encourage the residents of lewis county to get out on the trail. I think sometimes, my experience thru hiking the AT, that we sometimes forget that new folks need simple info.
Is it possible that those who love backpacking and hking and biking this trail could come together in the way the AT Conservancy has come together to form a public private relationship in support of this trail?
Just a thought.

Hey, a few of my buddies and I have been planning out this trip for quite some time. We were wanting to do the whole trip in about 15 days. Dec. 27-Jan-10. Of course we know its going to be quite cold, but would you all still recommend this? We would do it sometime during the rest of the year, but none of us can really get off from school or work. Any advice is welcome

I spent hours reading through these forums recently and was wondering when the next trail cleaning event will be? As I recall, I.B.Me indicated sometime this fall. Any plans being made? I have some tools for clearing brush etc. Sept 27th I'm not available but most other weekends I am.

first I'll start by saying I know nothing about kentucky's flora, or botany or anything. But I would like to learn some. First step would be the type of tree this is, and I know people here know it since they are everywhere in the gorge, but heres a pic I took a couple years ago. Thanks in advance

• biking from Nothern Terminus to Morehead
Author: halliwood
Posted: Sat Aug 23, 2008 11:10 pm (GMT -5)
was wondering if it was a good idea to try to bike from northern Terminus to Morehead, I have bike some of ST around cave run, but haven't been east of there. I saw the before and after pictures of the clearing that some have done on the northern terminus and it looks like an awesome place to ride (great job guys on the hard work). So I was just wondering if it was allowed on this section of the trail, and if so is it practical?
