The World's Most Beautiful Places
Nada Tunnel in Red River Gorge, Kentucky. The tunnel was originally built by the Dana Lumber Company between 1910 and 1911 to transport timber via rail. The Big Woods, Red River & Lombard Railroad hauled logs from the abundant forests of the Red River valley to a sawmill in the town of Clay. The tunnel is 900 feet long, and is located on route 77, in Powell County. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.

The Red River Gorge is a scenic and relatively remote canyon covering roughly 29,000 acres located in the Daniel Boone National Forest. It is known for its sandstone cliffs, waterfalls and natural bridges. With its more than 100 natural bridges and arches, it is largely responsible for Kentucky having one of the highest concentrations of natural bridges and sandstone arches in the United States, and is second only to Utah in that regard.
A rock overhangs the road along the Nada Tunnel Road in the Red River Gorge, in a remote and rural part of Kentucky. The area is part of Daniel Boone National Forest and near to the Clifty Wilderness area.
