  • Took the Sky Lift up to the Natural Bridge sandstone arch in Slade Kentucky and then walked over to Lookout Point that was .6 miles out and back.
    There are several trails to explore up at the top. You don't have to ride the Sky Lift to get to the top. You can hike to the arch from several trails.

      Yes, the time difference makes it hard for my European friends to catch these Premiere videos. But there is always the replay. This one is a short one, only 11 minutes, but chalked full of goodness. Thanks friends! ~RVA~

    Wow what a way to travel. Looks so peaceful that ride up ⬆️. 😅love the thought you had re the stranded on a lift scenario, I’d be the same 😂. Wow that cave ❤. The rock and cliffs are stunning and the autumn colours ❤. And you reach the top and 💥 boom the views. What a ride 🎉. Just a stunning video xx

    That is a beautiful area. We kept our feet on the ground in this area. We hiked to the top rather than take the tram. Looked like a fun ride. Those trams can be scary. We have one at a ski resort near our town that has one of its spans several hundred feet above the ground in the middle of the span between the towers. So so scary! It is great that you were able to see the Red River Gorge and be at the meetup too. This Natural bridge was really cool. the slot canyon trail was fun too. Looked like you had a great time. Take care.

    I was thinking about Natural Bridge in Lexington, Virginia not Kentucky. What a beautiful place. I have been on a sky-lift from Cherokee, NC to Gatlinburg, Tenn.

    • @RVAHikerGirl
      @RVAHikerGirl  ปีที่แล้ว

      Natural Bridge in Virginia is beautiful too. Evidently VA's natural bridge is not an arch like these in KY. I need to research why that is. Maybe because its not sandstone and was formed differently. Gaitlinburg is on my list. I want to check out that sky bridge there. It looks a bit scary. ~RVA~
