Description
Cumberland Gap is a prominent V-shaped indentation in the Cumberland Mountains. It is situated on the Kentucky-Virginia boundary approximately one-quarter mile north of the point where Kentucky, Virginia, and Tennessee meet. The base of the pass lies in a plane 300 feet above the valley floor and 900 feet below the pinnacle on its north side. On the south side, the mountain is only 600 feet above the saddle of the Cap. Viewed from a distance, this picturesque natural feature probably appears much the same as it did when seen by the first pioneers. However, a closer look will reveal that the north side of the pass has been sliced by a modern highway to a depth of approximately twenty feet.
Indians used Cumberland Gap as a gateway through the mountains long before the arrival of the white man.

This is honestly one of the most beautiful places in the world, year round...there is something about the Smokey Mountains and the Gap, the slant of the afternoon sun...but thank you so much for feeling that as well.
