Description: Chapter of the West Virginia Scenic Trails Association. Mission is to develop and maintain this trail as well as other trails in that part of West Virginia.
Welcome to the Home of the Mary Ingles Trail Blazers The Mary Draper Ingles Trail (MDIT) is under construction. It approximates the route taken by a pioneer woman, Mary Draper Ingles, and her companion, an elderly Dutch woman, following their escape in 1755 from Shawnee captors at what is now Big Bone Lick, Kentucky. With no maps and only her memory to guide her, Mary reasoned the only way to return home was to follow the rivers. After an incredible 40-day journey over an estimated 450+ miles of rough terrain the two nearly starved women found their way to her home near present day Blacksburg, Virginia. In memory of their courageous journey, a group of Kanawha Valley hikers organized the Mary Ingles Trail Blazers in 1989. Their goal is to develop and maintain the Mary Draper Ingles Trail and other trails in that part of West Virginia. The group also works to promote an interest in hiking and an appreciation of the out-of-doors.
