ThruHiking Journals

Over the years a few folks have hiked the entire ST, sometimes more than once! They logged their trips with journals and offer them here for your reading. Thanks to their great reporting, we have a sense of the trail conditions and hiker experiences that we can't get anywhere else, expect on trail.

Mapping the Sheltowee Trace is forum and interactive map for The Sheltowee Trace. When we started mapping the ST it was a 260-mile backcountry trail connecting recreation in Daniel Boone National Forest, Cumberland Falls & Natural Bridge State Resort Parks, and the Big South Fork National Recreation Area.

Over the subsequence 10 years, the ST has grown nearly 60 miles in length. This site is a record of that growth. outrageGIS mapping creates trail maps and guides for backcountry camping and trail exploration.
