Kentucky’s Red River Gorge
With soaring cliffs and majestic arches, the Red River Gorge near Slade is an awe-inspiring place to visit.  It may be the South’s best-kept secret.
The Red River Gorge is a place where mighty sandstone arches rise to the heavens and forest niches hide delicate wildflowers that grow nowhere else on the planet.  This rugged region of geological wonders astounds visitors from other places, but it is beloved by Kentuckians and known the world over to rock climbers, partly because of its many overhanging cliffs.
