This is the first major overlook from the Pine Mountain Trail if you access the PMT from Elkhorn City, KY. You can see the town of Elkhorn city below to your left. The end of the Russell Fork Gorge is to the right. I believe the overlook is about 2600 feet elevation. The Russell Fork river below (and the PMT trailhead) is at 600-700 feet elevation. It is somewhere between 2-3 miles from the trailhead to this point in the trail.
Elkhorn City is one of my favorites towns in KY.... definitely looks different from above!
