Est. cost: Parking $15/ vehicle/ day

Come climb in the Red River Gorge with Greg as your guide. No experience necessary. Greg is a certified climbing guide and will provide the gear, instruction, and routes appropriate for the group. Prefer to keep your feet on the ground? You're welcome to come along and spectate.

Est. cost: Free to hike; Skylift $11/ person one way

Hike to one of Kentucky's most iconic landmarks. The Original Trail is a short but steady uphill hike to Natural Bridge, with roughly 400 feet of elevation gain along the way. Once you're at the top, explore the bridge and overlook. (Round-trip Skylift tickets are also available if you'd rather skip the hike altogether.)

Est. cost: $10-$13/ person

Not every Gorge adventure needs to involve an actual gorge. Join us for 18 holes at Thrillsville Adventure Golf, with waterfalls, ponds, bridges, mystery holes, and some friendly competition.

Est. cost: $85/person, plus taxes and fees

Part hiking, part climbing, and a very different way to see the Gorge. The via ferrata follows nearly a mile of sandstone cliff using iron rungs, cables, ladders, and suspension bridges, reaching heights of up to 120 feet. No climbing experience is necessary. (Ages 10-14 must climb with an adult.)

Take a morning hike along the Rock Bridge Trail, a roughly 1.4-mile loop through the Gorge. Along the way, we'll stop at Creation Falls and Rock Bridge, a natural sandstone arch with a creek flowing beneath it. The trail is relatively short and moderate, with some elevation change along the way, but we're leaving plenty of time to explore, take pictures, and enjoy the falls without turning the morning into a race.

Est. cost: $70/ person

Trade the cliffs for something completely different. The Gorge Underground's Classic Kayak Tour is a guided paddle through a 100-year-old flooded limestone mine. The tour itself lasts about an hour, and no kayaking experience is necessary. Kayaks and safety equipment are provided. Expect cool temperatures, dark tunnels, and a side of the Gorge you definitely can't see from a hiking trail.
