"During the second week of March 2020, two friends and I made the trek from Louisville to Red River Gorge Geological Area of the Daniel Boone National Forest in an attempt to escape the hustle of our city life for a few short days. At the time of our departure, the COVID-19 pandemic had not yet restricted our travel but the chaos surrounding the issue was enough to motivate, at least in some part, our decision to get away. Without phone service and far from the steady stream of discouraging news, we found ourselves immersed in the peace and solitude of the Kentucky wilderness which has mesmerized locals and tourists alike for generations. Our journey into the forest began along Copperas Creek within the Clifty Wilderness with our final destination as the Copperas Falls: a plunging 42-foot-tall waterfall which supplies the gentle creek below. The nearly 2-mile hike to the falls provided plenty of time for contemplation and the various features surrounding this trail resulted in rather charming revelations."
