Water sources
Hey all, I’m looking for some water info in Red River Gorge. Myself and my nephews who I frequented the gorge with when they were younger (they are 20 now) are planning a 3-day backpacking trip this summer maybe early fall. We plan starting at Rough Trail TH off 715 then hitting Hanson’s Point, Cloud Splitter, Adena Arch, Indian Arch, Indian Staircase, and Eagle Point Buttress and finishing at Osborne Bend TH. I know it’s a pretty chill mileage trip, but the goal is to slow down and spend time at the overlooks and arches instead of pushing miles and hang.
Main question is water, I’ve been using my old map from the early 2000’s planning the route I’m trying to avoid guessing wrong on dry ridge sections. Planning to camp on the spur to Hanson’s so we’ll pack in our water for that day, then refill and filter as we descend into the valley, and camp night two along Gladie/Lost Branch so water doesn’t concern me that day. Just more curious about water options for night 3 near Eagle Point Buttress. We don’t plan camping there just near it and finishing our hike in the AM. Are the water sources in that area likely to be dry?
Also open to other route suggestions as well. We are all in decent shape and hike frequently. Just wanting to revisit a place we spent a lot of time at when they were young.
