- A strenuous and challenging hike (~3 miles) along unmarked trails near Copperas Creek and the Osborne Bend Parking area. Hiking to the falls would add an additional 2-3 miles to the total. This hike goes off trail, over creeks and streams, scrambles up steep rock formations, and crosses dangerous cliffs.
To reach the trailhead (Osborne Bend): From rest area at exit #33 off of the Mountain State Parkway, turn left, and return to the Mountain State Parkway for 8 miles. Take Exit 40 for for KY-15/KY-715 toward Beattyville. (0.3 miles) Turn right at KY-15 N/KY-715 N. (0.7 miles) Take the 1st right onto KY-715 N(6.3 miles) Then park in well marked parking area on right side of road just after crossing the concrete bridge. (thank you toredrivergorge.com for driving directions).
Note: This video depicts only a tiny fraction of the vast wilderness around the Red River. Plan ahead to avoid dehydration, exhaustion, inclement weather, and dangerous falls. Getting lost will obviously exacerbate all the above risks.

Holy crap that FF9 music! Takes me back big time. Logged many hours of my life into that series and 9 might be the best.
Thanks fellas.
And of course Aeris' theme at the end. Classic
Wow! I'm a veteran of the Gorge and have never so much as heard of these arches and falls. Outstanding work, gentlemen!
As veteran hiker of the gorge, I'm glad you guys are doing this. I've always enjoyed finding new spots and getting away from the crowds. Please keep up the good work!
Keep making these videos! We appreciate and enjoy them.
Found one of your videos yesterday and thought it was awesome, came back today to watch another one and I think this one is awesome too. When I was about 30 years younger I use to spend a lot of time camping down there at the Red River Gorge. I think you guys have a great ideal by doing a CZcams channel with all these great videos of the trails at Red River Gorge. I will be watching more of your videos as time permits me to. Keep these great videos coming because I am sure there are a lot of people watching them that appreciate the time you have put into them.
We're very glad you've enjoyed the channel. And yes you can expect more videos in the future, as we have many more hikes planned, mostly at RRG... although we do like to branch out when the opportunity arises.
Outstanding!
thanks for the markers, was on the opposite side of the falls and followed your reds all the way to the top what a treat. thanks for all you do!
Thanks for this! Been up to the falls, but not the arches. You guys rock. \m/
Cant wait to check this area out! Thanks for another awesome video.

I’ll be down there tomorrow and through thanksgiving
I love going on in official trails as they are the best ones
I’ve covered a lot of ground there and you guys seem like some really good people I would love to hike with,
I leave no trace
I appreciate the videos, thanks. suggestion... could you use something like AllTrails to map the hikes?
Matt Rutherford, we are actually in the process of developing an interactive map that highlights all our hikes. It will have data and other resources so stay tuned.

Have you guys been to the other 5 arches in that valley?
We have not. If you know the names, and hopefully the directions, we would definitely check them out.
Johnny Bluegrass, starting May 20th I will be starting an internship at the visitor center for about 11 or 12 weeks. I will be living basically at the visitor center. I have never actually made it to Hopewell, maybe we can help each other out over the summer.
you missed 6 other arches and 3 more waterfalls along with a cave......
tony courtney , Do you know the names of the other arches?
Joe Creech yes I know the valley very well
Hopewell arch snow arch double deer arch Copperas arches 1,2,3,4 Copperas pillar serendipity arch Sandy arch two doors arch and a new arch I discovered last month that is almost the size of snow arch that once I revisit I'll name.
tony courtney , thanks dude we will try and find those as well and get another video in that area..
Joe Creech I'd gladly show you them I've been to over 400 arches and upwards or 200 waterfalls in the gorge. Add me on fb and I gave give you more info. facebook.com/tony.courtney.904
tony courtney, alright I will get country style to add you and we can set up and trip. Thanks again.
Love the vids, but please stop introducing yourselves so much. Good job on the vids, and showcasing our wonderful red river gorge. Y all are doing great!
Love you guys and your vids, but do you have to keep introducing yourselves every frame? "Johnny Bluegrass here" "Country Style Here" It really takes away from your content.. which is good!
This is Johnny Bluegrass here...You're right! Thanks for watching the video. Our next video, I promise to only do it once. :)
