Red River Gorge Scenic Byway (Kentucky)

Is this drive Motorhome friendly?

    I assume you mean the NADA tunnel-Sky Bridge loop. There are several park and ride (carpool) lots at Mountain Parkway exchanges in the area. It would probably be easier to park in one of these lots and take the toad. I'm not sure of the height of the NADA tunnel. It would probably work, but the roads are so narrow passing another car requires concentration. There are tight switchbacks and at least one one lane bridge.


    X2, this is not an RV friendly road. Much of it is very narrow and twisty. Take the toad. Lots of places to stop and look around, and a stop at the Gladie Visitor Center is worth while.
  • Vehicles larger than 12 feet wide or 12 feet tall should enter the Gorge from the KY 715 end of the byway, or from the north side on KY 77. Large vehicles may not be able to pass through Nada Tunnel.

    The tunnel is a one-way section of a two-way road, drivers must watch for the headlights of oncoming vehicles. It is 12-foot-wide by 13 feet high; so RVs, tour buses and other high vehicles should use extra caution.

    What size?

    36 feet with toad. Probably around 50ft total. Almost 13' tall.
