Tri-State Peak, Mountain summit at Cumberland Gap National Historical Park, United States.
Tri-State Peak rises 1,990 feet above sea level, marking the geographical intersection of Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia in the Cumberland Mountains range.
The summit served as a strategic location during the Civil War, where Union forces created a substantial crater to prevent Confederate advances in 1862.
The peak stands along the historic Wilderness Road Trail, which Native American tribes used for centuries before Daniel Boone's expedition through Cumberland Gap.
Visitors can reach the summit via a 2.4-mile round trip hike from Middlesboro, Kentucky, following US 25E through the Cumberland Gap Tunnel into Tennessee.
The Royal Colonial Boundary marker from 1665, certified by the American Society of Civil Engineers, designates the exact point where three states meet.
