Breaks Ultra 2020

Breaks Interstate Park is one of only two such interstate parks in the United States. Located on the Kentucky-Virginia border, ’The Grand Canyon Of The South’ received its name by the ’break’ caused in the rugged Pine Mountain by millions of years of erosion by the nearby Russel Fork River. It is the largest canyon east of the Mississippi River and reaches craggy depths of over 1,600’.  Daniel Boone is often credited for being the first person of European descent to discover the 5-mile long gorge in 1767.
