This is absolutely beautiful. I just discovered it last week when driving through eastern Kentucky. I have added it to my bucket list and hope to go there in the spring.
I live an hour away from Red River Gorge and had no idea there was this many arches there. I always thought there was like 3 and they were all super hard to get to. Thanks for sharing, Cheers ps, Love Miller's, have had their treats many times, lol
One of my favorites is Cherokee Arch. I love Red Byrd but the trail is for adventure hikers only... that means it's for people like me! I needed a piece of rope to reach Ledford Arches but I'm 67 and mostly hike alone. Getting to the best arches ain't always easy, but it's always worth it. I like Castle Arch because it's such a big limestone arch sitting proudly on a ridgeline high above Swift Camp Creek. Most of our limestone arches, in Kentucky, are like Henson's or Shangrila (Carter Caves) which are usually below ground and exposed by sinkholes. I recently met an arch hunter in the Gorge who showed me his map with GPS Coordinates for over 300 arches.
I use to repel off chimney rock walk up the holler between chimney rock and half moon not a arch but there was a big rock shelter that was awesome there was a path that led off of the half moon trail to get to it but try as I may I could not find it last time I was there I just thought of that looking at these cool pictures of the Gorge thanks for showing.
I was just there for my second visit in backpacking, such a beautiful area. Millers is addicting, every time I go there I stock up on goodies. I have seen 3 of these so far. Hoping to catch some of the others in more trips I do there.
Hi ap, as of now we do not know of a map including all of RRG's arches. We have however heard good things about the maps from outraGIS, perhaps you could try those. Thanks for watching.

I have such a soft spot for Whittleton Arch. It’s such a massive and unique feature. I think it’s completely underrated.

Thank you for making this! Looking forward to visiting it.
Cool list. I'm new to RRG and I will be seeing Gray's Arch on my first trip. Glad to see it ranks #4.
