Sheltowee Trace & John Muir Trails

Videos

This is a three-night backpacking trip commencing in Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area on the Sheltowee Trace Trail in Kentucky. After dropping into the Rock Creek drainage, we join the John Muir Trail. We leave BSFNRR and enter Picket State Forest and cross Rock Creek, leaving the Sheltowee Trace Trail and continuing on the John Muir Trail. On our final day we cross Rock Creek 21 times. Several of the crossings were in an area with what appeared to be beaver ponds with ponds on each side of the trail, with occasional channels 20 to 30 feet wide, which I assume were the original creek bed, connecting the ponds. The trail crossed these channels several times with some being deep and one required swimming. At what would have been the 22nd crossing, which appeared to be deep enough to require swimming, we were able to walk along the edge of a pond and climb up the ridge, then bushwhack back to Blockhouse Mountain Road. Then my son road-walked two and half miles back to my car parked at the junction with John Muir Trail. Thanks for watching and hope you enjoy the video.
