Red River Gorge

A beautiful fall day (10/21/07) at the Red River Gorge in the Daniel Boone National Forest. This day we hiked about 7 miles on 220, 221 & 226 loop from Koomer Ridge Campground.

The best book we have found for hiking in Red River Gorge is "Kentucky's Land of the Arches" by R. H. Ruchhoft - but it's out of print! Used copies can be found on Amazon.

Chimney Tops Trail - Great Smoky Mountains

This is the view from the top of Chimney Tops in the Smokies taken on December 27, 2007. This trail is beautiful from bottom to top! Lots of bridges over rocky streams towards the bottom, the streams get narrow closer to the top.

Here's a link to the trail description:
