We visited an area that I had never heard of,
but was well worth visiting, the Red River Gorge.
It is located in central Kentucky
in the Daniel Boone National Forest.
The area has more natural arches
than any place east of the Rockies.
Its a great place to hike and rock climb.
First we had to pass through this 900' long
single lane tunnel to get to the gorge area.
This arch is called the Sky Bridge
The top of the Sky Bridge,
quite a view!
The Gladie Visitors Center
The Gladie cabin,
one of the first homes in the area.
These small arches are called the Angel Windows
Hiking along the Red River,
We spotted the Chimney Top
(notice the safety rails above the chimney rock)
So we drove (no, we didn't hike it!) to the top
and looked down on where we had hiked along the river.
We also hiked to Rock Bridge.
Rock Bridge is the only true bridge in the area
as a stream flows under it.
We passed Creation Falls on our way to Rock Bridge.
The area truly is gorgeous!
