so many can be made from your own back yard or woods and it has been done in harlan county for years
and today.At those prices kinda looks easy but you have to tell yourself this.After hiking and climbing all day fighting thickets,fallen timbers,cliffs,creek beds,and some little critters that hang around.Makes you think twice about how easy it was thinking about it before attempting.so you do have to pack supplies such as food water,and communication device as you never know that anything could happen.You also get to enjoy the beauty of the high county and its surroundings at every mile you reach.
they are many great places to visite here in harlan.we also have the highest ranked trail riding park for off road riders and activities.just check out the video below for more info.
