Cave exploring at Cumberland Gap

Cumberland Gap National Park has several caves for exploring. This one is called skylight cave. It has a natural skylight in it once you've climbed well into it. Most of our time at Cumberland Gap was spent hiking some of their 70 miles of hiking trails and learning about Daniel Boone and Cumberland Gap's historical features. The Gap was used by Daniel Boone and his pioneers to settle the meadows of Kentucky. It was called "America's Gibraltar" because so much commerce passed through the area.
