Weather
What weather source is most reliable for the gorge? I like to use local weather as opposed to a national source but am not sure what that would be. I’ve been looking at weather in Slade but don’t see anything local.
Hinterlands
Got lucky and scored a 2nd edition Hinterlands the other day for $35! Anyone have all 3 editions? I’m curious if there’s much difference between 1st and 2nd edition.
Best early breakfast places?
Going to chimney rock tomorrow morning to see the sunrise, any good local diners or restaurants to grab some good local waffles or eggs?
What order to do Double Arch Auxier and courthouse for sunset?
Going on the big loop tonight starting from Auxier trailhead at around 4pm, all trials it as a directional loop but i was wondering what the best plan would be for a good sunset view
Question for the Gorge veterans...
What was the biggest "Why didn't anyone tell me this?" moment you've had over the years?
Not necessarily a hidden attraction, but something that made you completely change how you do Gorge weekend. The river? The winery? Both?
Maybe it's:
* A tradition you started. * A better way to get around. * Something you always make time for now. * A place you never realized was worth visiting.
I'm always fascinated by the little things that end up making the biggest difference.
Have you seen me?
Has anybody seen this thing? someone I know spotted it, and apparently it’s an albino deer that’s terribly deformed. I’ve been planning on visiting national forests starting with ones in Kentucky since I’ve lived here my whole life, and thought red river gorge would be perfect. is there any more information on it or a particular area where it’s been spotted the most?
Courthouse Rock
Absolutely stunning sunrise before dropping into the valley to double arch. The Gorge owes me nothing.
Swift Camp Creek to Creation Falls
Yes, that’s a picture of the trail. Felt like pushing through a jungle.
I must have eaten like 5 orb weavers on this hike.
It was a satisfying challenge but they aren’t kidding about the “wilderness” side of Clifty Wilderness
