Rocky Branch Overlook taken from Jailhouse Rock, Red River Gorge, Kentucky USA
This is sky bridge. The most massive arch in Red River. it spans over a hundred feet and about 50 feet in the air. Probably the most famous arch in Red River, it has been seen in movies. Many astro-photographers flock here because of it's structure and clear skyline. If you get a chance, the trail is only .8 miles and very much worth it. You first walk across the top of the arch, it is so big that you are halfway across before you notice your not just on a narrow rock path. then you circle around to be under the arch.

EMERGENCY NATURE STOP!!! 10 hours in to a year-long road trip we desperately needed to get out of the truck and stretch our legs. 4.5 hours wasn't nearly enough time to explore the Red River Gorge, but we just couldn't resist stopping to get a taste of what this magical place is all about. #adventure
