Gray's Arch

The destination for our hike at the Red River Gorge, Kentucky. There are some downsides to camping in a downpour and to hiking on undeveloped trails right after a downpour, but the plus side is that there are many waterfalls. Here is the rockshelter and cove at Gray's Arch.

View of the arch and waterfall from under the rockshelter. I still do not have any concept of how to take pictures of landscapes that vary from very low light to very bright light.

The waterfall coming down over the cliff. The Tuliptree growing near the base of the waterfall was impressive, itself, with its height and straightness.

Mark and Brandon sitting under the arch, enjoying the view.

Gray's Arch is very impressive, but the waterfall was equally spectacular. It was only about a half mile hike from the arch to the parking lot where we were getting picked up.
