Natural bridge Resort State Park

As the tree house is in the beautiful Red River Gorge geological area, there are tons of walks, hikes and climbs all around us. In my head we would do a walk at the Natural Bridge and then go closer to our tree house there is the Red River Gorge, but we only were able to complete the Natural Bridge track as it took longer than expected.

We first visited the Red Gorge Visitor Centre and then headed to the one of many parking lots for the trails.

The main trail was the rock garden all the way to the Natural Bridge. When we were near the top a lovely family of 4 stopped us, asked us questions about the hike and then gave us their return trip down on the skylift as they were going to walk down. Looks like majority take the skylift up and then walk down.

We took the skylift down but then had to walk back to the car, so had to get back on the trail and walk back. The kids (and Josh) were over the walk by then but had no other way to get to the car. It was super hot and humid.

After 8km and 3 hours of walking and an elevation of 404 meters we made it back to the car sweaty, tired and hungry. As we didn’t have lunch we had a big late lunch / early dinner (lunner) at the Hungry Hiker. It was a good and needed meal!!

Our night ended up playing a one of the games on offer at the tree house, “unsolved case files” which took way longer than expected but it was a great game as well all worked together, and there was no winner.Leggi altro
