Trail Overview

Nice, easy gravel road, following an abandoned railroad. It offers views of the valley below and an operational rock quarry across the way. This road is an abandoned rail bed from the days when the Red River Gorge was being logged. There are no obstacles along this route in typical conditions, but one switchback may get tricky in wet conditions.

Trail was very smooth until the southernmost half mile or so. Lots of overgrown vines to look at while driving through small puddles. As you get to the area before and after the cut, the trail has quite a bit of rutting developed, as well as on the cut itself. Had to take an approach to get over a set of 3 ledges where I ended up getting one wheel off the ground. I would certainly say this is probably at least a 2 or closer to a 3 now. But very enjoyable and simple trail.
