Description
In a secluded and well-hidden location lies another stunning rock formation waiting to be discovered. Sculpted by nature and located near Frenchburg Kentucky, Star Gap Arch is only one of many spectacular arches in the Red River Gorge.
Honestly, the Red River Gorge is one of the most remarkable places I've ever had the privilege of visiting. By the enchanting powers of nature, a hike in the gorge provides an extraordinary mind-healing therapy. Moreover, exploring this vast and majestic countryside is truly a journey through time itself. Locating Star Gap in the dense woodlands of the Daniel Boone National Forest does require a bit of resolve. In fact, while searching for the arch, I encountered several hikers that had abandoned their quest to find this hidden wonder.
Nevertheless, with a little persistence and a good map, Star Gap Arch is merely a 1.5-mile hike from the Auxier Ridge Trailhead near the parking area. Honestly, I would consider most of the trail easily accessible, except for the last few hundred feet or so. On the path just above the arch, one must scale down a somewhat steep rocky surface to reach the bottom of the trail leading to the eye of the arch. Although not extremely difficult, the hike can be a challenge depending on one's skill level.
The gorge offers boundless opportunities for adventure seekers, rock climbers, hikers, and photographers. Indeed, the Red River Gorge is a rare and unique place on earth! I plan to return at the first opportunity.
