Daniel Boone is credited with discovering The Breaks in 1767 as he attempted to find ever-improved trails into Kentucky and the Ohio River Valley beyond. Passes through these rugged mountains were called &quot;breaks&quot; by early settlers. The Breaks was one of only a handful of narrow passageways through 125-mile-long Pine Mountain.Virginia Scenics, Southwest Virginia..
