The Red River Gorge is a National Natural Landmark run by the forest service. I was totally surprised in a wonderful way when I stumbled across the gorge area. You can drive the loop (77 east to 715, south on 715 to go west on 15) which is breath taking in itself, you can take trails to see many natural... More

Can't say enough about how beautiful this area is. It's no wonder that people from other states make a point to come see it. The quiet surroundings, lush greenery and running water make for an awesome day.

There is an overlook for the skybridge, however it seems that the trees block the arch, you can see it, but not very shape for the arch shape, also difficult to film it, there is a trail to go the bridge, but we didn't walk, so not sure how's the view there. Angel windows, princess arch and rock bridge is... More

Beautiful area, hikes are sometimes difficult to hard, so get a map of the trails. But the scenery is fantastic

Amazing scenery and recommended for anyone who likes hiking in the great outdoors. Also worth a visit is the Gladie information center where you can find maps, books and lots of historical information about the area.

If you love nature and beautiful mountain views you will love the Gorge area. My family visits this area almost every year. We rent a cabin and take hikes. My grandsons camp out here several times a year with the scouts.

I have traveled all over the US. The Red River Gorge is almost in my back yard and I keep going back. It's beautiful any time of the year. If you enjoy hiking, this is the best place to come and get off the beaten path. Natural Bridge is pretty but there is so much more to this area. Pick... More

This has to be one of the most gorgeous places on Earth. There's places for novice hikers, places for families, places for backpackers and you can go out into the forest and feel like the only person in a prehistoric world. It's truly unique. High cliffs though in some spots, not good for children who don't listen or adults who... More

Hiked the Red River Gorge and Natural Bridge areas. The weather was perfect and the trails were not crowded. The walk was peaceful with tranquility. Plan on going back in the Spring/Summer timeframe :)
