Chimney Top Rock and Princess Arch
After getting into the Gorge, we stopped here to stretch the legs and catch some excellent views with friendly clouds overhead. This is a great hike to kickoff your time in Red River Gorge with a top notch overlook and one of the most popular arches in Kentucky.
September Sunrise at Chimney Top Rock
This is my top spot for foggy mornings in Red River Gorge and with a fog advisory in effect, this was the place to be - and it delivered the goods once again. Get here to watch the sunrise behind you, lighting up Hanson’s Point and the gorgeous sandstone cliff faces.
November Sunset at Chimney Top Rock
In November, you can find the sun setting in the gap, south of Red River - making for a fantastic view. We visited on a beautiful Fall Saturday evening, and while there were dozens of other folks around, it remained a picture perfect sunset.
Spring at Chimney Top Rock
Of all the views in Kentucky, this one might be the most famous. Chimney Top Rock provides a commanding view of Red River Gorge and while gorgeous any time of day, sunrises and sunsets here are special.
