Has anyone been to the Red River Gorge in Kentucky since the ice storm that hit at the end of January?
I heard from some folks that went down to climb that access was somewhat limited due to many many fallen trees.

I hiked in the Clifty Wilderness portion of the Red River Gorge the first and third weekends of March and there were *many* downed trees. Very tough going.

whew, u r tougher than the group I was with, after scrambling under,over and around some amazing deadfalls, they decided to back out and go another time. We had some novice hikers, so it was the right decision.
I was on the Koomer ridge area a few weeks ago, lots of signs of downed trees, but all were cleared (chainsaws & stuff) & we did no climing over around or under downed stuff. Even the side trail to double arch was cleared.
