About the Book

The Master Path of the Great Bluegrass State

The Sheltowee Trace graces 282 miles of Kentucky hills and hollows. Sheltowee, meaning Big Turtle, was the name given to Daniel Boone when he was adopted into the Shawnee tribe. Hikers who tread this trail and its numerous day and overnight hikes will be "following the turtle," a white turtle blazed on trees, from the trail's southern terminus in Tennessee's Pickett State Park, north through the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area. The trail continues through the length of the Daniel Boone National Forest nearly to the state of Ohio.

Each profile contains four key elements to help you plan and enjoy the perfect hike:

  • Detailed Trail Maps
  • Elevation Profiles
  • Directions to Trailheads
  • Trail Descriptions
Each trail description offers precise commentary on what to expect along the way and rates each hike for:
  • Scenery
  • Trail Condition
  • Difficulty
  • Solitude
Designed to fit easily into a back pocket, this guide provides directions to 40 day and overnight hikes as well as a thru-hiking section. So, whether it's a day hike along the Cumberland River, a week-long trek, or an all-out-assault on the entire 282 miles, you will need and appreciate the first-hand information presented by Johnny Molloy.
About the Author: Johnny Molloy is an outdoors writer based in Johnson City, Tennessee. Born in Memphis, he moved to Knoxville in 1980 to attend the University of Tennessee. It was in Knoxville that he developed his love of the natural world, which has since become the primary focus of his life. It all started on a backpacking foray into Great Smoky Mountains National Park. That first trip, though a disaster, unleashed an innate love of the outdoors that has led to his spending more than 150 nights per year, over the past 25 years, tent camping, backpacking, and canoe camping throughout the United States and abroad. In 1987, after graduating from the University of Tennessee with a degree in economics, he continued to spend an ever-increasing amount of time in natural places, becoming more skilled in a variety of environments. Friends enjoyed his adventure stories; one even suggested he write a book. Soon he parlayed his love of the outdoors into an occupation. His efforts have resulted in almost 80 books, ranging from hiking guides to paddling guides to camping guides and to true outdoor-adventure stories. His books have covered all or part of 26 states, primarily in the East. Johnny's Carolina books include "Top Trails: Great Smoky Mountains National Park"; "Hiking North Carolina's National Forests"; "50 Hikes in South Carolina"; "Best Easy Day Hikes Charleston, South Carolina"; and "Paddling South Carolina." Johnny has also written numerous articles for magazines and websites. He continues to write and travel extensively to all four corners of the United States, pursuing a variety of outdoor interests.
