Meet Dusty Keeton He has been building trail with Meet Dusty Keeton He has been building trail with the CTC since August 2016 with a one year hiatus in Colorado during 2020-2021. Dusty loves numerous aspects of his job such as being surrounded by nature and exploring waterways, but says the best part is building trail for the public to explore. His favorite segment of the CT is Soak Creek. He really enjoyed building trail in that area. The diversity of life on the Soak Creek segment has been the most abundant of any trail he has constructed. #cumberlandtrailsconference #webuildtrails #trailbuilding #sustainabletrails #cumberlandtrail #pineyriversegment #pineyrivergorge #tnstateparks #cumberlandtrailstatepark #rheacountytn #springcitytn

“I feel lucky to be able to access and discover “I feel lucky to be able to access and discover many of Tennessee’s greatest natural wonders by way of the Cumberland Trail. It is the perfect way for me to escape city life by either a quick hike to a beautiful waterfall, a long solo day hike with just the company of my dog, or even an entire weekend of backpacking amongst close friends! I believe that the CTC is vital to keeping the trail built and maintained. I have not only donated my money, but also my time to building this trail. It has proven to be one of the hardest, yet most rewarding of volunteer opportunities. I will never look at a trail the same!” - Sheryl Handley #cumberlandtrailsconference #webuildtrails #cumberlandtrail #ozonefalls #cumberlandtrailstatepark #tnstateparks #volunteertrailwork #volunteertrail
