This will be the last installment of this series.
This was my final day in the Big South Fork Area of Tennessee & Kentucky and I made the most of it. I went to see two phenomenal arches called the Twin Arches and saw a beautiful rock shelter and natural bridge at Pickett State Park. While it didn't take up a full day, the trip was certainly fulfilling.
Enjoy!
