Don’t commute, commune - with Nature! Yes sir there’s more nature per mile in the Gorge than there are Medicare commercials on TV! You may think that with December there comes a bleakness that is winter when all the leaves have fallen and the trees are just gray stick figures. Well, let me help you out there. Here in the protection of the Gorge things aren’t quite as drab as sometimes occurs in flatter, less sheltered areas. Because of its unique landscape, winters are not as harsh as they might be outside the Gorge. That protection could also be the reason there are so many varieties of animal, vegetable and mineral examples. If Natural beauty and diversity could be weighed, the Red River Gorge Area would be listed as a heavyweight. Heck a Sumo!
Vacation Planning Tips? We have the only one you need We receive and read many emails and website suggestions every day for vacation destinations and trips, cruises, etc. Many of those sites offer tips and suggestions designed to help you get the most enjoyment and eliminate hassle when vacationing. That’s what every venue and every person working those venues here in the Gorge Area wants. The only things on our guests’ minds should be where to sleep, eat, commune and play. Not worrying about details nor being inconvenienced at any time while vacationing frees you to enjoy your precious time spent here. Some of those tips, maybe most, are good and do work. However, and now that you are here, you know this to be true we have only one tip. Come back next year. And years after that. Simple. Why return? Beside knowing what a great time you had the first time? That too is simple, there’s so much to do in the Red River Gorge area, no matter how much you did, there’s still much more waiting for you to discover. If you want to sleep in, cool, but you can do that at home. Get out there and experience the Gorge. Hike? We got you covered there times 100+! Trails that is. Excitement? Okay, that’s where the Gorge excels. Miniature golf; underground water borne tours, horseback riding, off road ATV’s, canoe and kayak rentals and the adrenalin rush of Ziplining up there with the eagles. Pull out the To Do page and carry it with you and it will help you find just the perfect activities for you and your family. Jerry Ison Welcome to the Gorge. We are truly glad you came.
