  • A strenuous and challenging hike (~3 miles) along unmarked trails near Copperas Creek and the Osborne Bend Parking area. Hiking to the falls would add an additional 2-3 miles to the total. This hike goes off trail, over creeks and streams, scrambles up steep rock formations, and crosses dangerous cliffs.
    To reach the trailhead (Osborne Bend): From rest area at exit #33 off of the Mountain State Parkway, turn left, and return to the Mountain State Parkway for 8 miles. Take Exit 40 for for KY-15/KY-715 toward Beattyville. (0.3 miles) Turn right at KY-15 N/KY-715 N. (0.7 miles) Take the 1st right onto KY-715 N(6.3 miles) Then park in well marked parking area on right side of road just after crossing the concrete bridge. (thank you toredrivergorge.com for driving directions).
    Note: This video depicts only a tiny fraction of the vast wilderness around the Red River. Plan ahead to avoid dehydration, exhaustion, inclement weather, and dangerous falls. Getting lost will obviously exacerbate all the above risks.

    Wow! I'm a veteran of the Gorge and have never so much as heard of these arches and falls. Outstanding work, gentlemen!

    Love you guys and your vids, but do you have to keep introducing yourselves every frame? "Johnny Bluegrass here" "Country Style Here" It really takes away from your content.. which is good!

    Found one of your videos yesterday and thought it was awesome, came back today to watch another one and I think this one is awesome too. When I was about 30 years younger I use to spend a lot of time camping down there at the Red River Gorge. I think you guys have a great ideal by doing a RUclips channel with all these great videos of the trails at Red River Gorge. I will be watching more of your videos as time permits me to. Keep these great videos coming because I am sure there are a lot of people watching them that appreciate the time you have put into them.

      We're very glad you've enjoyed the channel. And yes you can expect more videos in the future, as we have many more hikes planned, mostly at RRG... although we do like to branch out when the opportunity arises.

      Johnny Bluegrass, starting May 20th I will be starting an internship at the visitor center for about 11 or 12 weeks. I will be living basically at the visitor center. I have never actually made it to Hopewell, maybe we can help each other out over the summer.

    I appreciate the videos, thanks. suggestion... could you use something like AllTrails to map the hikes?

    • @joecreech5413
      @joecreech5413 7 лет назад +2

      Matt Rutherford, we are actually in the process of developing an interactive map that highlights all our hikes. It will have data and other resources so stay tuned.
