Red River Gorge 4K - Hiking, Camping, and Backpacking Kentucky's Hidden Wonders travel: First video of yours I've seen, excellent photography. I've been backpacking in the RRG since the late 70's. It has changed for the worse of course, light pollution is horrible now. But after years of camping there I discovered that those bridges, those stone steps, those erosion bars, those neatly cut trees to clear the trail. all done by VOLUNTEERS. Known as the RRG Trail Crew. Huge tree blocks the trail? CROSS CUT SAWS! I've been able to spend a few weekends helping out once I discovered that fact. A bit embarrassed after so many years. You picked a great trail, but wow, one of the harder ones. Sadly there are rules for camping but NEVER enforced. Up until around 1996 it was not illegal to camp in the rockhouses and you bet your ass I camped in them for many years. As did Native Americans and ancient man before them no doubt. Nice trip. You missed so many wonders along that trail but I'm not telling you!

I came here to do the Sheltowee trace trail, forgot my backpack cover and tried using a big black garbage bag that unbeknownst to me quickly filled with several gallons of water during a massive downpour thunderstorm. I remember thousands upon thousands of zebra swallowtails in the treetops over several days of hiking. on one day, we stopped near a horse camp on a creek, waited at a gravel bar for one guy to scout the trail ahead. Meanwhile, I found a PHENOMINAL, FANTASTIC fossil of an extinct, giant ice age beaver jaw, upper and lower with enormous incisors. I was so tired and cranky I threw it on the gravel bar when our scout called that he found our trail. I didnt know what I had in my hands until years later when I attended a lecture of Ice age fossils here in St Louis. Dammit.

Just hiked the red river gorge this past week! My 14 yr old son watched this video and was inspired to see it. Made me take his picture on the same Boulder at gray-s arch. Also, because of this video we ate at Miguels pizza! Thanks for the inspiration

I love how your intro is super serious and your voice overs are so well done and then we get footage of four sweet boys nerding out over the woods. It's the best. Both high quality and incredibly relatable content.

Hey guys. I'm really interested to learn how you all know so much about wildlife/plants/mushrooms. What books do you read? Did you study something in college? I'd love to have the same knowledge some day. Thanks!

Watching this for a 2nd time because. well, RRG is my main 'go to' haunt. Really diggin' the music tracks on this episode. A perfect complement to the epic RRG scenery along the Swift Camp Creek trail.

I can't get enough of your adventures. This is a great one. Love the Pretty Polly reference. If you haven't heard it, listen to the Ralph Stanley and Patty Loveless rendition. Classic Bluegrass!

Clifty Wilderness comes from the dominant rock type there! Big Clifty sandstone! Knowing the geology on hiking trails makes for a much more immersive experience!
