Settlers crossing the Appalachian Mountains primarily used the Wilderness Road, which was blazed by Daniel Boone in the late 18th century. This trail extended through the Cumberland Gap, providing a vital route for pioneers moving westward into Kentucky and beyond. The Wilderness Road facilitated the migration of thousands of settlers seeking new opportunities in the frontier.
