Fall Colors at Bell Falls
Bell Falls is a beautiful waterfall with a classic Red River Gorge cliff line to go with it. We stopped here to enjoy the waterfalls (lower and upper) and the colorful forest scenes to kickoff our day in the Gorge. It had been dry for a good while, so the flow was minimal, but still enjoyable with a little rainbow action at the upper falls which was nice.
Ice Cone at Bell Falls
We stopped at Bell Falls for a preview of what was to come at Copperas Falls. After a cold snap, conditions were perfect to see the frozen falls on a sunny bluebird day. This is a short walk from the road, but was a little slick thanks to a light coating of snow. During larger snow and ice events, microspikes would be an excellent idea. As it was, plain old hiking shoes were just fine.
Bell Falls
This narrow, but beautiful waterfall is always a nice stop while visiting Red River Gorge. On this day, it was flowing nicely after a couple days of decent rains and the upper falls were a real treat with plenty of water tumbling down Bell Branch.
