Hopewell Arch & Copperas Falls | Red River Gorge

Back in Red River Gorge, we explore the Copperas Creek area for arches & waterfalls, including Hopewell Arch & Copperas Creek Falls. The forest is very much alive and the hike is mostly easy, lots of small stream crossings, boulders, rock shelters, and cliffs. We camped in the Red, but not in the Copperas Creek area, our campsite was located off of a trail along Tunnel Ridge Road.

Such a cool part of the country! Loved those shots walking along those giant boulders, looked like such a fun hike! 😊

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

It was definitely fun! Lots of great features, thanks for watching!

06:53 what an amazing place, what an unusual sight because it looks so beautiful, nice sharing Nice sharing nice video good job my new friend , stay connected stay safe and have a nice life

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

Thanks friend!

[@PFAM5]

That scenery is amazing! Love the waterfall and creeks. Drone footage was epic!

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

That's why we love it there! I don't get to use my drone often, and unfortunately, I was limited here too, but only because I forgot to charge the batteries, LOL! Thanks for watching!

[@PFAM5]

@@SlonesWildernessExpeditions lol. Yes I see a lot of places that say no drones.

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

@@PFAM5 That is the truth! We couldn't have flown in the area of the arch & waterfall in this video, as it was in a designated wilderness, so no drones. But our campsite was outside of the wilderness and just in national forest land, where we could fly!

[@jamesthedog7783]

Awesome

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

Thanks!

[@hikewithmike4673]

WOW!....what an awesome place!

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

It is indeed! You should swing up there sometime! Might find the swamp ape!

[@AlaskanAmblers]

That looks so lush, and that Hopewell arch looks amazing. So cool that you had it to yourself! Sinkholes are so cool...just doesn't seem right. You know it is a real adventure when you don't always make it. I can see why the waterfall at your lunch spot is so photographed...wow. That was amazing. Great adventure, guys, thanks so much for sharing it!

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

Ha, I never thought of it that way, "You know it is a real adventure when you don't always make it!" Truth! We love this place, so much to see. Thanks for watching!

[@Connected_ToTheVine]

Added to my map for future adventures!

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

Enjoy!!

[@whatsthatguydoin8603]

What an awesome place. Thanks for sharing this.

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

It is pretty awesome, thanks for watching!

[@unpavedexplorer338]

Hello my friends, I was just at the RRG over the Memorial Weekend. Very beautiful place. Very nice adventure. Take Care.

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

We had planned on doing this adventure over Memorial Weekend, but my son still had some school projects to finish, so we delayed it a week, otherwise we might have ran into you there! It is definitely a beautiful place. Thanks for watching!

[@diavolorosa]

What an awesome but also kinda terrifying spot to set up camp! Kentucky is so beautiful. Been to the Mammoth Cave area couple of times and would love to discover more!

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

That's the second time we've camped in that spot, love it! I agree, Kentucky is beautiful. We've visited Mammoth Cave a couple of times, but still haven't backpacked there, it's on our list!

[@JimHayesHiking]

Great time in the gorge! Man that Hopewell arch was amazing. Your campsite was a little on the edge,Lol. Great video.

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

It's always a great time in the Gorge! I was highly impressed with Hopewell Arch. We do like to live on the edge, LOL!

[@jaxcoop1511]

Really enjoy your videos with you and your son. I'm from central Indiana and you guys give me lots of good info on places to go. I'm probably a little older than you, but your narration voice reminds me of some of those old Disney nature documentaries from years ago.

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

Thanks! We've still got a lot of places to explore in Indiana, but we keep finding ourselves on out of state adventures like this one! That is a huge compliment, I try to approach the narration like a nature documentary. Years ago, I did host a local music show on our local NPR station, but that's the only real experience I have, LOL. Thanks for watching!

[@walkingwithtamson]

Oh my word, some stunning geology around these parts! I have never seen anything quite like it. You guys had great hike out there today 😀

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

It is pretty amazing, growing up my parents would drive right past that area, and we had no idea all of that was there. So much is waiting to be discovered out there!

[@walkingwithtamson]

@@SlonesWildernessExpeditions Well there ya go!❤

[@PeacefulPotatoYoga]

I really enjoyed your video! I loved watching you explore plus your energy is amazing. Can't wait to see more from you! new friend here 💜

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

Thank you! We just go out, explore, and have fun. These kind of adventures give us energy, but for real energy, I need to start doing some of the workouts on your channel!

[@kylerickards5526]

Love your videos. Thank you!!

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

Thanks for watching!

[@davidwalczak1297]

Yes there sure is areas like that in indiana, check out turkey run in Central indiana, almost identical to parts of red river gorge, or check out Sullivan cave, also cool to see. Or Google climbing/boldering in Indiana, you'll find another spot, or check out Warren dunes, it's about 15 minutes into michigan from indiana but has a awesome trail I think you guys would enjoy, you walk down a river and the cliff side are all gray clay. Plus warren dunes has some massive sand dunes.

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

I've been to all those places except Warren Dunes, and as nice as they are, they still don't hold a candle to Red River Gorge, not even remotely. But I will add Warren Dunes to my must-do list, thanks for the tip! Indiana has some gems, just on a smaller scale.

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

Scratch that, we have NOT been to Sullivan Cave, so I'll add that to my list as well! It looks amazing.

[@davidwalczak1297]

@@SlonesWildernessExpeditions hey, also, not sure if you guys are into entry level caving, but in walker county georgia right over Tennessee Stateline there is a cave called petty johns, no charge, no tours, free camping, easy to get to off the main parking area, and it is like being in a totally different world once your 30 minutes down into it. I think the boy would really enjoy it. My daughter has some video of it on our channel " funfinding4two" if you want to check I out. Along with a bunch of waterfalls from greeter falls, Savage, falls, rock city and such. Petty johns cave is as technical as you make it, it can be calm and easy and then there are some routes that only the more experienced should be attempting.....I am also from Indiana, me and my daughter enjoy your channel and watching you guys, keep it up

[@HikeCamp]

A very cool arch indeed... Too bad you could not get to the others...

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

Just gives us reason to revisit that area in the off season! Thanks for watching Max!

[@veragardner5763]

Did you ever can across ancient man made rocks formation. I am going to Shawnee national park next week. Some believe that it had been inhabited by a anciant civilization.

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

Nothing for sure, but anything is possible!
