This was a 3 day backpack in the Cumberland Gap National Historic Park.  We started hiking on Friday on the Ewing Trail just north of Ewing, VA.  After a stop to explore White Rocks and Sand Cave continued on the Ridge Trail to our campsite near Hensley Settlement. Saturday’s hiking included an exploration of the Hensley Settlement, then on to our campsite at Gibson Gap. The hike concluded at the Pinnacle Overlook on the Ridge Trail.
