What a lovely area to visit! Beautiful Kentucky scenery and lots of hiking trails
Red River Gorge Geological Area的点评
点评:We absolutely enjoyed our full day in this area. Did multiple things: took the sky lift up to hike around Nature Bridge area and view points. Went to hike the #207 Rock Bridge (1.5 miles loop trail with waterfalls, rock bridge/arch, and a nice creek with sandy beach). Stopped by the Hemlock Lodge for a nice lunch, and then explore the suspension bridge and hiked up to see Balance Rock.
All this with $0 entrance fee. What a gem. The Nada Tunnel was a bit scary to drive through. Completely in the dark and the car head lights only lit up the bottom portion of the tunnel!!! Just amazing because the tunnel is only 12 feet wide, 13 feet high and 900 feet long. One way traffic only. It was used for logging and blasted out of solid limestone rocks.
We returned to Lexington via the scenic drive, it was very nice.
翻译:我们非常享受在这个地区的一整天。体验了好几件事:乘坐空中缆车徒步游览了自然桥地区和观景点。徒步攀登了207号石桥(1.5英里的环形步道,沿途有瀑布、石桥/拱门,以及一条带沙滩的美丽小溪)。在铁杉旅馆(Hemlock Lodge)享用了美味的午餐,然后探索了吊桥,徒步上山观赏平衡石(Balance Rock)。
所有这些体验都免费入场。真是个宝地。开车穿过纳达隧道(Nada Tunnel)有点吓人。完全漆黑一片,车头灯只能照亮隧道的底部!!!更棒的是,这条隧道只有12英尺宽、13英尺高、900英尺长。而且只能单行道通行。它曾用于伐木,是由坚硬的石灰岩炸开而成。
我们沿着风景优美的车道返回列克星敦,一路风景优美。
