Red River Gorge's Grays Arch Trail beckons hikers to explore its rugged terrain, offering a moderate 6-mile round-trip journey through scenic landscapes and beneath towering rock formations. The trailhead begins at an elevation of approximately 1,000 feet above sea level, gradually ascending to the arch itself over varied terrain that includes creek crossings and rocky scrambles. Along the way, hikers are rewarded with stunning vistas of the surrounding landscape and opportunities to spot local wildlife such as deer and wild turkeys. As hikers near the arch, the trail narrows and becomes steeper, requiring a more concerted effort to reach the summit. Once there, visitors can take in the breathtaking views from beneath Grays Arch's massive stone span, an unforgettable experience that makes the challenging journey worthwhile.
