- This is part 1 of a two part video of a group hike in the Red River Gorge. Red River Gorge is located in the Daniel Boone National Forest near Slade Kentucky. I was kindly invited by local Kentucky hiker “Backpacking With Jason” to attend this CZcamsr hike / meetup. On day 1, Friday, we parked at the Auxier Ridge Trailhead and hiked the roughly 6.8 mile loop. The parking was not crowded on Friday but was absolutely jam packed full on the weekend. The loop was very interesting and we saw distant views of Double Arch, up close views of Haystack Rock and Courthouse Rock, and many interesting ridges. After Courthouse Rock, the trail descends steeply through the gorge and then climbs steeply back out. We set up camp out on a beautiful ridge about 1.5 miles from Double Arch. After setting up camp, we hiked the 1.5 miles in and out to see the beautiful Double Arch.

"Yours is bigger than mine, I have Stick Envy." LOL and dude yes that backpack. Very nice. "Slugface!" Was LOL #2. Panda seems fun:-)
The whole group is pretty friendly and fun. I think we've got a special quirk that's drawn us together on the trail. Thanks for commenting Troubadour! 😎
Awesome job I always enjoy seeing your view of a trail. Glad you joined us I can't wait for the next part.
Same here! I'm so glad I found a way to get there. I've not started editing part 2 yet...not sure when I'm going to do that. Need to finish PA AT this year too!
This is easily one of the best day hikes in the entire gorge! cool video!!!!
Thank you Brook and Holler! I was extremely impressed with this place and can't wait to get back!
What an amazingly awesome hike wow them views
Thank you Bro! I was surprised how good the views were... 😎
looking forward to part 2 of the hike, amazing view from the top of the double arch
Thanks Craig! The views were amazing and they kept coming! Looking forward to getting back to this area.
Such great content. You captured so many spots I didn't. Can't wait to hike again.
Thanks Panda! I'm really liking this place...must get back! Also need to hit the AT in PA... 😎
Happy Monday. It is going to be an amazing week have a great one!
Happy Monday indeed! 😎
Awesome trip. Cumberland Plateau, the "badlands of Appalachia" I always say. Definitely some very different features from our Blue Ridge back home. At 3.25 some dude is on that other ridge bugging out and going home because he just heard a chupacabras or something that even Squatch would be scared of. LOL!!! Your camp site looked pretty awesome, nice view from the tent. I loved all those dangerous cliffs. Cool rock formations and excellent views. Looked like y'all had loads of fun out there. Cool trip.
It was a lot of fun! Later that night, the coyotes really got going... Jason definitely located a very cool camp. Will be interesting to see what we find next time around. Thanks for watching! 😎
Awesome video! Love the footage with the new camera, really captured some great views. Glad you got to join us on this go around at RRG!
Thanks Kurt! Now, if I can only figure out a way to carry that M50 comfortably... I need to do the wet lowlands part of this place...really want to see the soft underbelly. 😎
great video man! everyones is so good. awesome time out there with awesome folks
It was definitely a blast! I was not used to carrying that much water - no water right at camp. thanks for watching Burnwood!
Good to see you again my friend...and the Zpacs duplex still going strong.
A truly beautiful location full of chutes n ladders and the company's not bad neither...no sleep walkers in the group i hope!!!
I see the Saskatoon's are in bloom!...good stuff amigo see ya in two !...woods
Thanks for commenting MTwoodsrunner! I like my Duplex and it seems to be holding up very well after 2 years. LoL, chutes n ladders, that pretty much describes the place.
I’ve been waiting for this one! Your new camera is fantastic- your best video yet. All the money shots and some great editing. The trip looked like a hoot! Lots of fun, lots of stairs, lots of cliffs! (Yikes!!) creepy music- I was waiting for something to happen - lol 😎
Hmm, going through comments using the new filter functions and looks like I missed this one! Totally epic hoot! Yes, I was nervous around all the cliffs...
Love that shot of the flower with courthouse rock in the background!! I forgot Jason dropped his phone.
I had so much fun on the trip Chris! Was great meeting you. The M50 has so much potential...I need to figure out how to tame this thing for Hike Vlogging.
I thought my phone was going off the cliff. Lol. You got some really good footage. Loved your setup area. Great footage of Double Arch. Loved the campfire part. Awesome video. Can’t wait to go backpacking with you again!!
Jason, thanks so much for inviting me to your "back yard"...this place is definitely a hidden gem! I'm totally looking forward to getting back out there and exploring some of the more obscure areas. Same here...see you out on the trail!! 😎
Once I get another 1829 miles on the A.T. I can start hiking places like this. Cool looking get together
LoL, yes, this definitely ate into my AT time. Goal this year is to finish PA, start NJ, and extend South into VA and maybe cross paths with some of the other AT vlogging through hikers. The group is pretty cool - met them doing PA sections and YouTubing. Thanks for stopping by and commenting, see you out on the trail!
Beautiful place! Next time take us to Schoolhouse Rock.
I can see why it's a gathering for climbers from all over. LoL, don't give me any ideas...
Nice video. Looked like a lot of fun.
Thanks Uncle Paul! We had a blast. I need to get back out on the AT though...miles of views are waiting and I've got lots of miles to go... I do see myself returning to the Gorge though...😎
great video, if you ever come to south africa id love to take you on a trail or 2 :)
Thanks Nic! If I ever get down there I'll look you up! 😎
Doing this tomorrow.
It’s an awesome area!
I'm over a year late... but thanks for the shoutout :D
Better late than never, 🤣. I was amazed at the variety of forest, rocks, and formations in the gorge. Tons of cool bluffage!
and SLUGFACE!! lmao
#slugfaceoff! LoL, inside CZcams tribute to Rachel Rawson. search the hatchtag....
