anyone in rrg have an idea how the crags are with all this rain? hoping to drive down this weekend but leery of how wet it might be or if the base of the crags will be all mud etc.
Feel real dumb now that I'm looking at the map, but has anyone else dealt with terrible traffic noise when camping along this stretch of Tunnel Ridge Rd? Didn't really hear it when we were setting up camp during the day but when we laid down to sleep it was unbearable. Ended up moving to the car to sleep around 4am.
Hey you crazy outdoor people!
I’m heading your way this summer and want to plug in, meet cool people and do cool things.
I’m a 5.10+ lead sport climber from the Carolinas with solid slab skills but in need of endurance for those over hangs. I’m a safe, attentive belayer with a hunger to get on anything and everything.
I’m a 5.8+ trad climber who is okayish.
I’m a former ultra marathoner turned hiker who can handle just about any suffer fest up to 20 miles before wanting to call it a day.
I love a good Margarita and tacos, or pizza after a day out.
I’m in the software space and work remotely. So, I’ll be able to head just about anywhere by 5pm ish and have all my weekends free.
Hit me up here, or if you are on Yerp (popular outdoor partner finder/adventure app in the Carolinas), I can connect with you there.
Was here for the weekend, was surprised with how much trash me and friends found while out looking for camping spots. Someone left a whole trashed tent behind. And a few other spots beer cans and other trash.
Friends of RRG! We're hiring a onsite groundskeeper at our glamping retreat center in Zoe, KY - about 15 minutes from Natural Bridge. Responsibilities would be things like trail maintenance, taking trash to the curb, cutting firewood, and being on call for simple guest requests a few evenings a week. Estimating it takes less than 10 hours a week in exchange for housing in tiny house cabin.
Would be great for someone who has another job of sorts or someone who wants to live in the Gorge and hike/climb a lot. Ideally looking for someone year round but would be open to a seasonal position (June - November).
If you're interested send me a DM and I can send you the full job description!
Hey everyone
I was thinking about building this in Stanton and having the loft available as an air bnb are there a lot of people looking for a place to stay?
Sorry if this isn’t allowed here, it’s not built yet just trying to figure out if it would be a good idea or not.
Last year we visited Red River Gorge in I think May and went to a restaurant for breakfast that had a bunch of different flavors of pancakes (not just your standard blueberry, etc but like cinnamon swirl pancakes and a bunch of other flavors). It was connected to a little store. For the life of me I cannot seem to find this place. Does anyone know what the name of this restaurant is??
Met a lot of lovely people during the hours I spent sitting on the ground. :)
My wife and I have a gorge trip coming up. I’d consider myself a very experienced gorge goer, as I’ve probably gone down there 40+ times since I’ve been of driving age over the last couple decades.
I’ve done all the highlights many times at this point, but every once in a while I get a suggestion to go to a lesser known trail (or often overlooked) and I end up loving it.
So hoping to get some suggestions. We are both very capable hikers, so the difficulty doesn’t matter much.
Was wondering if anyone knows some easier off-roading trails around the Gorge. I have a 4x4 Toyota Tacoma and was wondering if there were any beginner offroad trails around.
Hey! Planning a Red River Gorge trip in June and trying to figure out the best place to stay.
Looking for something that’s:
Miguel’s Pizza seems to come up everywhere. Is it actually a good fit for this kind of trip, or is it more chaotic / party-heavy?
Also curious about camping logistics:
Would also love any specific campground recommendations (or ones to avoid).
Thanks!
Hello r/rrg, I have a lot of sentimental ties to rrg and am looking for a spot with a view that is relatively quiet and not an insane hike to get to. I want to propose on an overlook but not be surrounded by people. Let me know if you have any spots in mind that would be good for this! Thanks :)
Anyone have a recommendation for a couples weekend cabin? Definitely needs to have a hot tub! Vbro and Google are not helping
Looking for a good trail that you can back pack and camp by water. We are going in July and wasn’t sure where a good spot would be that wouldnt be dried up in the dry season.
Planning a little out and back camping trip and was thinking of camping at the end of the Angels windows trail (300 ft off trail and all that), I know there is a little waterfall there, was thinking it'd be a convenient place to fill up on water, while I'm out so I don't have to carry a bunch of water, but wanted to know if sometimes it dries up and to expect there's a chance it could be not flowing?
