Autumn provides the perfect backdrop for hiking. From the fresh, crisp air to the rustic fall foliage, hiking and fall just go hand-in-hand. When you set off on the Siltstone Trail in Kentucky, you’ll be treated to sensational views of the fall foliage. Wildflowers also dot the path that’s brimming with natural beauty.
Until approximately the middle of October 2020, you cannot access the trail via Bearcamp Road. However, the trailheads at Scott’s Gap and the Welcome Center at Tom Wallace Recreation Area are open. Stay current with closures here. (Check before you head over.)
Wear a pair of sturdy, comfortable hiking boots or shoes for your journey along the Siltstone Trail, which winds through the Tom Wallace Recreation Area.
Bring plenty of bottled water and snacks, because you'll probably exert yourself as you explore the forested trail. The good news is the trail is particularly beautiful when drenched in the colors of fall.
On those warm autumn days, the canopy of trees will help keep you shaded from the sun. The trail is open only to hikers as bikes and horses are prohibited.
