About This Trail

Perched on a narrow exposed ridge between Double Arch and Auxier Ridge in Red River Gorge, this unmarked route leads to a small sandstone arch with sheer cliff drops. Scrambling over exposed rock ledges is required, and hikers often combine this with visits to nearby Double Arch and Star Gap Arch.
