      He is not only a kick butt hiker but he is just also down to earth and genuine. I have a special place in my heart for him forever! There are over 150 sandstone arches in Red River Gorge. Can’t wait to go back next year and check out more. Waterfalls too! Thanks guys! 💕

    Loving the colours in the trees and I can see why it was so packed there, great place to hike, especially with fellow UA-camrs. That 'little' rocky section looked a bit of a challenge, real steep and real slippery too. Got to say I did not realise Senior Hiker was 81 years old, man I hope I am as fit as him if I make that age - I sure feel inspired and energised too! The Arch itself looked pretty cool and a perfect place for a photo and the night time festivities looked pretty dam cool too lol! Cheers Alan

      Yes, the Fall color is beautiful while it lasts, even if its only for a few weeks. SH77 is 1 amazing human being. He is one of my fav people on this planet. That area where we were has over 150+ sandstone arches, so its an incredible area to explore. Thanks Alan for giving this one a watch. ~RVA~
