Our trip to The Natural Bridge was a success! It was so much fun. I absolutely love Kentucky...it's so easy to just drive off the main highway for a mile and see beautiful scenery in every direction! This was a road that we took to Lexington that basically paralleled the highway. I love the back roads though because you get to see things like this!

The fall colors in this area are gorgeous. Apparently the colors weren't as good this year as they usually are but I was still amazed.
We decided to hike the original "easy" trail up to the Natural Bridge and then take a more difficult/interesting trail back.


The bridge!

This is how you get to the top of the bridge. It was a reeeally tight squeeze.

On top!

This was the more difficult trail...Sooo glad we decided to take it back instead of up. Going down was difficult but not quite as exhausting as I would think going up them would be. These were definitely the steepest steps I've ever had to go down though


After we were done hiking we drove a couple miles to Campton to stay with some of Brett's family. I loved our room...and the first thing we saw when we looked out the window...
Their dog, Nana, had puppies three weeks ago and they were adorable!!

On Sunday morning we left Campton and drove to Paris, KY just to check it out. :)

  1. Oh my goodness. I love all the amazing things you guys seem to find when you drive around! That bridge looks amazing! I really want a puppy. I found one at the humane shelter I really want to adopt, but I know that would be a bad idea. lol Miss you!
