- Today we hiked Tioga Falls Nature Trail. It was a rugged uphill hike that was 1.9 miles to get to the waterfall. If you can’t hike a rugged steep trail, just sit back in your recliner and enjoy watching us huff and puff and gasp for air as we climb. 😅
Tioga Falls Hiking Trail is located approximately 1 mile south of West Point, Kentucky or 8 miles north of Fort Knox Main Gate on the Louisville Nashville Turnpike, from Highway 31W.
This two-mile walking trail is rough and steep, so use caution and hike at your own risk. Numerous injuries have occurred from trespassers/hikers climbing on the falls and not staying on the designated trail
The trail was developed to share an area with a unique combination of natural beauty and nineteenth century history. The trail lies in an area of Fort Knox used for military training and as a result is sometimes closed to hikers.
The trail may also be closed to hikers during some hunting seasons. Visitors using the Tioga Trail are required to strictly follow the posted rules and regulations or they could be prosecuted.
Signs are conspicuously posted during times the trail is closed.
Has Bigfoot been seen in this area? There have been many reports of sightings in the Ft. Knox area.
Even though this hike was rugged and steep, we enjoyed it. Hope you enjoy it too.
Thanks for watching,
Keith & Terri
What is the toughest trail you have hiked? Ours was Rainbow Falls in Gatlinburg TN.
We love waterfalls! We love uphill hikes a lot less. LOL. But a beautiful waterfall can make it all worth it. Thanks for taking us along!
It was gorgeous once we got there 😊
Oh, what a beautiful hike. I love the water aspect as well. A great workout. Falls were so pretty. Thanks for sharing. 💙
It was a great hike! Thanks for coming along!
Thank-you for the tour! Had heard of Tioga Falls, but I’ve never been.
It’s beautiful once you get up the hill 😅
Pearl also enjoys seeing nice creeks on the trail. That trail looks a bit tricky. Pearl loves Dateline, then I start watching and get stuck watching wanting to know who did it. Great falls. We like to pack a lunch and eat at the falls when we hike in.
It was a great but challenging hike! Thanks for coming along! 😊
Always enjoy just hearing the sound of a waterfall!! We've not had a good steady rain, so a lot of our waterfalls right now are just a trickle...maybe some heavier rains in the forecast for tomorrow.
We’re needing rain here as well. Just listening to waterfalls is so relaxing
I enjoyed this vicarious walk with you. What a beautiful walk :)
It was definitely beautiful & a bit challenging 😊
Glad Y'all made it back. Good to see you carried water with you also. The heat is really starting to pick up and the humidity. Might want to check into a walking stick if you do many more like this. Helps with balance, twisted ankles and falls. You both have more gumption and stamina than I do for sure. Take care and thanks. Steve
We’ve talked about getting hiking sticks but just haven’t. We need to get them for sure!
Going up is hard but the view is so worth it. We love hiking and waterfalls. You guys did great!1
Thanks! It was a fun day! 😊
You guys are in pretty good shape to walk 1.9 miles up hill 🥵👊
We were panting and gasping for air but we did it 😅👍
Me and my family were the humans u saw❤️
😅 it was a fun trail! Glad you found us 😊
Great hike, is it hard to find the trail again after the detour? Have you guys done Hemlock Cliffs?
No it’s not hard to find. It’s marked pretty well. We have not done Hemlock Cliffs but it is on our list. We have heard that it is beautiful.
I gage every trail, on how it compares to Rose Island’s infamous trail 3 climb. I’ll give a “75% Rose Island rating,” for a trail that’s nearly as tough. 😂
The Rose Island hill was a killer 😫
@@RetiredLovingIt It even comes with a warning label! 😃
😅
It looks like a beautiful trail, Terri and Keith. It's always good to start on the uphill portion. You never see "Bigfoot," but being a CZcamsr's, think of the views if you did! "Dateline" if you go missing? How about the "Blair Witch Project?" 🤣🤣 Right away I thought of the 🦟🦟🦟's. They're all over up here! Beautiful waterfall. I can see it went up quite a ways. Gorgeous area and we loved coming along on the hike. As you mention going downhill may be easier, but also more danger of a fall. Thanks for bringing us along.
We appreciate you watching!
