Top 5 Fall Hikes in Kentucky | Explore Appalachia Episode 7

We wanted to take advantage of the beautiful fall weather that we had in Appalachia this year! We went to some of our favorite hiking trails in southeast Kentucky to show you what the views looked like as the leaves were changing color.
Our first hike was to Chained Rock in Pineville, Kentucky. This one is a favorite of ours and it really never gets old. We went to see the sunrise over the mountains and we got a great view from above the clouds.
Next up on the list was the trail to The Pinnacles in Berea, Kentucky. There are multiple different trails at the Pinnacles, but we trekked up the mountain to Indian Fort Lookout. The lookout gave us great views of local farmland and the Berea College Forest.
After the Pinnacles, we drove up to The Red River Gorge to hike to The Natural Bridge and Lover’s Leap. There were rolling mountains as far as the eye could see from up there. Lover’s Leap was just a little bit further down the trail and from there we could see The Natural Bridge in all its glory. Of course, we couldn’t take a trip to the Gorge without stopping at Miguel’s for some pizza and Ale8.
Our next hike was way down south in Whitley City, Kentucky. We took the short hike to Yahoo Falls to check out Kentucky’s tallest waterfall. There weren’t many people there so the sound of the waterfall made it super peaceful.
The final hike of this tour was also in Whitley City. Buzzard Rock was just down the road from Yahoo Falls and it was brand new to all of us. It was a pretty easy hike with very little elevation change. Once we got to buzzard rock, we had an awesome panoramic view of some Appalachian mountains with The Cumberlands River winding through them.
