Can any one give me step by step directions to Indian Staircase trail after you turn off Bison Way onto Sheltowee. I must have passed the trail last time through.

Thanks

The parking area has a sign indicating the trailhead for Bison Way. Follow the Bison Way trail for .75 miles until it meets up with the Sheltowee Trace trail. Turn left and follow the trail for about .25 miles until you see an obvious trail to your right just past a stream crossing. Follow the trail uphill for 250 yards until it ends at an intersection near a short cliff. Bear to the right here and head up a steep section to the base of a 3rd class scramble. Scramble up to a ledge about 20 feet up to a large ledge. This ledge marks the beginning of the ancient Indian staircase.



Hope that helps!

Hey GAH,

There's a 3D map that shows the ST in the Gorge and Indian Staircase: http://www.outrageGIS.com/gorge as a sample and also as zoomable map. It's a nice area.

Thanks guys for your help! I have found Frog Head Rock, but somehow bypassed Indian Staircase.

Thanks again!

Red River Gorge was one of the nicest parts of my Sheltowee Trace hike from last summer. It is worth continuing on out of the Gorge all the way to Natural Bridge State Park. It is a nice way to finish up. Internet Marketing Tips

Thanks for sharing all these helpful information. I am very much please with the 3D map that you have provided. I am thinking of visiting this place sometime around February next year. Do you think the climate will be appropriate for trekking?
