Pinnacle

Perhaps, one of the most over looked hiking places in the state of Kentucky. I’ve made the two hour drive here from Indiana several times and its worth the drive. When you first enter the trailhead you will have a steep 400 foot hike that will make the heart pound but then the grounds level off to offer in my view some of the finest views in the entire state. The rock formations are incredible and the view into the valleys make you feel like your in another state.
The last two times that we hiked here we came across a local dog that belongs to people that live next to the grounds and both times the little fella followed us for hours and he has no fear of the cliff edges. In fact, his dog collar states that he isn’t lost and that he lives nearby.
I was also interested in seeing the Devil’s Kitchen which is a natural archway and the name alone made we curious. The entire system is a 6.6 mile loop and if your here in spring the natural flowers will catch your eye. Most people in the Indiana-​Kentucky area are well aware of Red River Gorge but this is a place that needs to be on your map. Bottom line I can’t say enough good things about this hike.
