Rock Bridge Trail #207

Reviewed By kayaklady4550 - Blacksburg, United States

We had to use Google maps and the All Trails app to find this gem of a hike but it was worth it. This is the only Natural Bridge in the area that still has water flowing under it. The waterfall is also fun. All Trails rated this as a moderate hike and I agreed with the assessment.

Auxier Ridge Trail #204

Reviewed By 688ALISONW

We did the Double Arch trail, then Auxier Branch trail to Courthouse Rock, then took the Auxier Ridge trail back to the parking lot. It was an epic hike. Probably around 7 miles total. Lots of ups and downs and climbing. Took us about 5 hours to complete the loop. Not for the faint of heart. Take plenty of water and snacks. Hiking boots are a must to protect ankles while walking over rocks and tree roots. So beautiful from the vistas looking out from the top of the ridges to the lush, moss-covered terrain in the gorge. It was a long hike but worth it.

Features a great natural sandstone arch that stands over the mountain.

How do so many people in Kentucky not know about this place? So many people travel to the same old vacation destinations such as Gatlinburg, Tennessee, or the beach at Gulf Shores, Alabama, or Panama City, Florida. This place is a jewel. It offers several hiking trails, the views are beautiful, and the lodge and grounds are well-maintained and impressive. This state park even includes a chair lift! Give this place a try if you haven't been.

Reviewed By yukonspookers - Indianapolis, United States

The gift shop is where we purchased our tickets for the sky lift-a very enjoyable peaceful ride up the mountain to the natural bridge. The shop has quality t-shirts and sweatshirts along with a variety of gifts, for children and adults. Very nice!
