Natural Bridge

Kristen and I went to this arch that is about an hour away from Lexington. We went with another couple (Aubrey and Kyle) in our ward who also just moved out here from Utah. It kind of reminded us of Utah since it was the closest thing Kentucky has to mountains. The only difference was the number of trees. As you can see from the pictures, the trees cover everything. It was a lot of fun. There were tons of different trails that you could take to get to the actual bridge. This picture was taken while we were on top.

If you look closely, you can see a few people on top of the bridge. It gives you an idea of the size of it. This picture was taken from a lookout point off the trail.
We had to walk through this crevice to get on top of the bridge. Near the end, it got pretty tight.
We took the Devils Gulch on the way down. It was a very tight and steep trail. It was made almost all of stairs some of which had been carved into the rock.
We are planning on coming back here in the fall when the leaves are changing, because it will be absolutely beautiful.
