Upper Bell Falls was trickling along after a dry patch, but the rainbow was nice.

The base of the cliffline en route to Eagle Point Buttress. This steep section of trail averages a 28% grade across 374 vertical feet on a quarter-mile of trail. Cardio matters. Walk hills, incline dreadmill, or run to stay in shape and take this climb with a grain of salt.

Sweet view from Eagle Point Buttress. These overlooks above bends in rivers are always iconic.

I've hiked most everything in and around Red River Gorge, so when I see possible new to me overlooks, I put them on my Winter hiking list. Off trail exploring is best done after the leaves have gone.

Here's the topo map view of the hike to Jailhouse Rock and a couple of the Star Gap Branch East Overlooks. It's a short hike at less than four miles and only has a couple modest scrambles - making it accessible to a wide range of hikers.

Behind this gate are more than two dozen overlooks and at least eight arches. Auxier Ridge Parking Lot gets crowded for a lot of very good reasons.

Caution overhead! Helene knocked over plenty of trees and Forest Service definitely got their chainsaw work in clearing roads and trails in the region. Keep an eye out - especially on unmarked and unmaintained trails.

This is the turn to 'Jailhouse Rock Trail' with a freshly downed tree obstructing the path - GPS waypoint is listed on the website.

This is the view from one of the first overlooks of Star Gap Branch - pretty nice in the afternoon, even better for sunset!

This survey marker would definitely put the hurt on a shin, so keep an eye out as you approach Jailhouse Rock.
