Tired of searching multiple guidebooks and endlessly scanning the Internet for information about the “good stuff†in the Red River Gorge? Looking for Hanson’s Point, Skyview Arch, Star Gap Arch, and other attractions that you’ve heard about, but are missing from the official guidebooks? Hinterlands provides relief. For over a decade it has provided comprehensive information for “advanced users†about unofficial and user-created trails in Kentucky's Red River Gorge. Frequent visitors to “the Red†eventually realize that many, if not most, of the best overlooks, arches, and other attractions are to be found on these unofficial trails. The author, who has also written the Red River Gorge Trail Guide, has hiked, climbed, cycled, and otherwise explored the region for more than forty years. He shares his insights and perspectives with readers in a detailed but informal manner. Readers will expand their hiking alternatives and discover numerous attractions that the Forest Service fails to promote; ones which could easily be overlooked by anyone not “in the know.†This updated 2019 edition features drone photos, which provide a fresh perspective on many of the area’s attractions. There's new information about two of the most interesting arches in the state of Kentucky, and more.
