I’m planning on heading out on a big adventure this summer, but first I must finish the last 50 miles of the Sheltowee Trace Trail. In 2023 I hiked aproximately 150 miles of the trail in the spring and 150 miles in the fall (the mileage on this trail was not to a T). It was a pleasure to watch the trees, plants and animals come to life during the spring and then watch everything change color and get ready for winter.

The Sheltowee Trace Trail covers 334 miles through the state of Kentucky into northern Tennessee. The trail runs through Daniel Boone National Forest and Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area.
The Red River Gorge in Daniel Boone National Forest was the very first place I ever backpacked.
I felt like I owed it to myself to hike this trail.
This was the first trail I hiked alone.
I’m sharing the gear I used to hike the trail in the fall. I was happy with all of my gear choices during this hike. Links include affiliate links from which I may receive a small compensation, thanks for trusting my recommendations!
