The Angel Windows Trail at Red River Gorge in Pine Ridge, Kentucky is an easy 0.6 mile out-and-back hike that leads out to a cliff formation with natural cutouts in the rock cliffs, known as Angel Windows.

The windows are small - no more than 4 feet tall and a couple of feet wide, but they're a unique formation along the cliff. If you hike beyond the Angel Windows, you'll continue hiking along a cliff until the trail seemingly ends.

Horse head rock: At the Angel Windows is an arch that looks just like a horse's head. See the 3rd picture in this album.

Dogs are allowed on this trail.
