Grays Arch Recreation Area is part of the Red River Gorge Geological Area. Keep this in mind before planning your trip. The area is very large, and there are many, many places to explore, and unfortunately I have not been able to do it personally, but I am happy to share some of the places we have visited. In this place, you will be able to do a lot of hiking and see many amazing views. Our itinerary below is for 2 days. Here we give you details of the top-3 interesting places.
Nada Tunnel is literally a tunnel. If you are claustrophobic, we recommend that you do not drive through it. It is very easy to have an accident. The tunnel is one-way and is very heavily traveled, so it may take you a long time to get a chance to go through it.
To TunelGray's Arch is an amazing natural formation, but it is about 2.5 miles one way to get there. The trail can be a bit confusing in certain spots, so it is important to have a basic sense of navigation.
To GraysTo get to Hanson's Point from the previous location (Gray's Arch), it is about another 5.5 miles, so good physical condition and plenty of water are necessary. The trail will be more confusing and more difficult. To reach this point, you need to follow the Rough Trail #221, then turn left onto the Hanson's Point Trail until the end.
