This 4-5 mile hike is the best way to get the Red River Gorge experience.
This adventure meets at the Slade Welcome Center Gazebo where guests will meet their guide and 'check in'. Cell service is spotty at best in Slade, so calling to find your guide may not be an option. An exact map will be provided to the location in the customer portal, with the link in the confirmation email.
From here, guests will drive their own vehicle about 2 miles away to the entrance of the private property where the adventure takes place. Once on the property guests will follow an old gravel logging road into the field where vehicles will be parked and guests ready themselves for the adventure.
Once on property, guests will have plenty of time to 'gear up' as everyone is making introductions and the adventure is being discussed. This is a loop trail meaning once we leave the vehicles, we will not be back to them until the adventure is over. Guests will follow their guide through the forest on old logging roads and newly developed trail systems, working their way around and up the mountain to find each of the 10 arches on the tour. There are several inclines including 4 sections of staircase to summit the ridge. The party will follow the ridgeline a bit before scrambling off the rock and down a sandy hill to find a logging road that will lead back to the vehicles.
