Tarr Ridge East Overlook #1 Out and Back
This is one of LaFonda’s favorite overlooks, and it’s among the best to enjoy midday in Red River Gorge. A short, easy walk leads out to a tremendous view south-southwest over Dunkan Branch. Though unmarked and unmaintained, it is well trod and easily navigated with the waypoints below or .gpx file loaded into your favorite map app.

This was an easy hike to a nice sunset spot under clear skies with unusually warm temps. The overlooks on Tarr Ridge East have varying worth as sunset spots depending on the time of year, but this one was rock solid;-)
