This hike will start at the Yahoo Falls trailhead in the Big South Fork near Whitley City, Kentucky. Yahoo Falls is the tallest waterfall in Kentucky at 113 feet. We will have the chance to explore the far northern part of the Big South Fork National Park. After visiting the falls we will take the trail to Yahoo Arch, Markers Arch, and loop around to Sheltowee Trace (National Recreation Trail) which allows us to make a large loop north, back to Yahoo Falls parking area. The geology and botany of the Cumberland Plateau is always interesting with lots of neat cliffs, caves and arches. This should be a fun day of exploration. Hike is 9.5 miles, rated moderate. Meet at Walmart parking lot off of I-75 in Clinton exit 122 at 8:00am or the Yahoo Falls trailhead @ 9:40am. [Drive is 135 miles round trip @ .07/mile = $9.45].
