Sand Cave

Hensley Settlement

The massive sandstone outcroppings at White Rocks tower 3,500 feet above sea level. You can enjoy panoramic views of Virginia’s Powell Valley to the south, and Kentucky’s rugged labyrinth of coves and ridges to the north.

An 8-mile round-trip hike brings you to a dramatic 75-foot-high sandstone overhang. A small waterfall flows near the cave entrance most of the year.

You can explore several mountaintop Appalachian farm-steads started by Sherman Hensley in 1903. More than 40 log cabins, barns, and outbuildings show how pioneers forged a new life with limited tools in tough backcountry conditions.

Plan to dismount and visit the Settlement on foot.

Carry plenty of water to drink.

Let someone know your plans before riding on the mountain alone.

Match your clothing and equipment to mountain travel.

Cumberland Mountain weather can become extreme without much warning.

Stay on horse trails to limit erosion damage.

Backcountry camping permits are required. If you overnight in the back-country, camp only at designated sites. Check in with a park ranger at the visitor centers to fill out a free permit.

Metal detectors, fireworks, weapons, and traps are prohibited.

Leave plants, animals, and cultural features as you found them.

Use campfires responsibly.

If you pack it in, plan to pack it out.

Know Before You Go

Westbound settlers on the Wilderness Road in the late 1700s welcomed their first sight of White Rocks. This bright sandstone beacon was a well known signpost that Cumberland Gap was only another day’s walking away. But few—if any—of those travelers actually took the time to walk or ride up to White Rocks.

Riders today enjoy the three-mile, one-way trail that climbs some 2,000 feet from here to the views atop the wide sandstone cliffs. To see Sand Cave and Hensley Settlement, favorite destinations that you can also reach from this trailhead, plan to dismount and explore on foot.
