A side trail will branch off to the right that takes the hiker up to a Civil War lookout. The TSM pavilion marks the spot where Tennessee, Kentucky, and Virginia meet. The trail passes through another Civil War earthworks site and rises and falls with the curves of the ridgeline for two miles out to the Cumberland Gap National Historical Park boundary. Scenic views abound, split eastward into Tennessee and Virginia, and westward into Tennessee and Kentucky. The Cumberland Trail trailhead is .4 miles on your left from the Bibbee Lane turnoff.
Parking is available on the right hand shoulder of the gravel road just past the trailhead sign.
Follow the trail up from the road, using some wooden steps, for about 100 feet. Proceed across the left-right roads, up into the woods to the left of the driveway straight ahead. Follow it out the side of the ridge, westward, and it will gradually traverse upward, crossing an old road. After about 100 yards, watch carefully for a sharp right turn. The man-made trail you are on will continue straight ahead up toward a large rock outcrop.
