The larger arch is just below a narrow arch just a few feet high and about 15 feet wide. The hike takes you along the walls of the gorge carved out by water. We took a loop trail, a nice 10 mile hike that takes you from the ridge of the gorge through the Meadows and across and up the other cliff to view the gorge from both sides. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248635975257912/666f8c1f-4b91-4ebe-8b41-6da8529b9f56.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![Having fun with our Boy Scouts at Daniel Boone State park. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248635975861636/912734a7-f121-40d1-8be1-5d3b02b55cd3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ## Visit Wellington Things to do - Top hotels in Wellington - Top Holiday Rentals in Wellington ![Newly renovated 2 bedroom cabin near Cave Run Lake & Red River Gorge](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/106000000/105780000/105778900/105778809/9a1b54f6_y.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=340&ch=150) ### Newly renovated 2 bedroom cabin near Cave Run Lake & Red River Gorge Wellington KY Stay at this cabin in Wellington.
