Red River Gorge, part 2

Monday was a day of steady rain, and Tuesday was cloudy, but dry. We did a fair bit of hiking Tuesday, and settled on a campsite near the Chimney Top Rock overlook, in the hope for a good sunrise photo opportunity.

While sunrise fizzled, there were no clouds that caught the early morning light, we did take some photos of the stars and fog lifting. Later, we made our way to Rock Bridge Arch, which is the only "true" bridge in the area (with water flowing beneath it).

Just upstream from the Rock Bridge Arch is the beautiful Rock Bridge Falls. There were some stones to cross from the trail side of the river to the photo side of the falls and river. It was easy to find, and very worth it.

We decided to camp in the Chimney Top Rock area (again) so we could photograph the sunset - the overlook faces north-ish with great views to the north, west, and south, and good views to the east. We had a better light show, but still did not get the clouds to light up like we had hoped.

I won't complain, though. We had the place practically to ourselves, enjoyed cooking our dinner at the overlook, and then went back to our campsite and sat by a fire to chat while we stayed warm and whiled away the evening.

Cheers,

Marc
