Trails in the Red River Gorge
The Red River Gorge is part of the Daniel Boone National Forest (DBNF) which contains an estimated 500 miles of trails through rugged terrain made of sandstone cliffs and exposed limestone rock faces. The book Hiking the Red, a complete trail guide to Kentucky's Red River Gorge, provides an excellent description of the activities one can find in the Red River Gorge. The authors suggest “popular activities include hiking, camping, horseback riding, bicycling, rock climbing, spelunking, bird watching, photography, nature study, and more” (p. 14).
