This group is an information source for those interested in hiking the Pine Mountain Scenic State Trail on the Kentucky / Virginia border. It is supported by the Pine Mountain Trail Conference. The PMTC mission is "to promote, construct and manage a continuous hiking trail, with related spur, connector, and access trails, to be called the Pine Mountain Trail, and to conserve the natural environment of the Trail and its adjacent lands. The Trail shall run from the Breaks Interstate Park to Cumberland Gap National Park, along the Pine Mountain ridge over the summits and through scenic points of interest, so as to render the mountain accessible principally for primitive camping, backpacking, and hiking. The trail shall be a means for showcasing the wild highlands and conserving the natural and cultural heritage of Appalachia for future generations."
