Details:
From Natural Bridge State Park to Slade, to Pine Ridge via Hwy 15 and into the Red River Gorge Geological Area. SLOWLY descend Sky Bridge Hill and ride along the Red River, back up through the Nada Tunnel and back to the starting point. This is the "easy" way through the Gorge. Restrooms are available, but there are no stores in the Gorge, so bring plenty of water, and a headlight for the tunnel is highly recommended.
*Optional 2 mile climb up Tarr Ridge Road, just for the fun of it.
