About RRG Experiences
All of our hiking guides are CPR/First Aid Certified, our lead guides are trained as Leave No Trace Trainers and all hold Wilderness First Aid certifications. Collectively we have traversed and ascended more than 2,000 miles in total from all of the trails we have hiked and routes we have rock climbed in the region.
We would love to take you on a hike and can curate your entire visit with customized itineraries so that you make the most of your time in the Red.
Red River Gorge Experiences is a woman owned business, dually insured hiking guide and trip planning service committed to getting all people outdoors. We are authorized to lead guided hikes on private property and nature preserves in the area, and are awaiting a special use permit with the USFS to guide hikes in the Daniel Boone National Forest.
Hiking tours and customized itineraries chock full of adventure are waiting for you!
Private Guided Hikes
This option is for you if you need more schedule flexibility or want to have a hike planned specifically for you or your group.
Rock Climbing / Hiking Packages
Do you have some folks in your group that want to rock climb and others that just want to hike? We can make that happen!
Red River Gorge Geological Area
Known as The Red by rock climbers and The Gorge by many Kentuckians, the area was Federally protected in 1993. Join us for a guided hike for a little taste of the region’s history and what makes it so special.

Hello fellow waterfall fans! Now is a great time to see stunning ephemeral waterfalls in Kentucky’s Red River Gorge region.
These waterfalls flow when there’s been enough precipitation in the area. Due to their intermittent existence, the flow and volume varies - but they always impress.
Join us for a customized guided hiking experience and soak up scenes like this in person!
Private customized hikes are available now, scheduled public hikes are available starting mid-March.

We were lucky to get out and share these sweet waterfalls and the trail with a new friend last weekend before the temperatures drop here in Kentucky.
Enjoy the sights and sounds from our day immersed in the beauty of @muirvalley and come join us when you are able!

There has been a host of research to tout the benefits of time outdoors in the natural world. It is recommended that people have at least 120 minutes a week of time outside to maximize the benefits that nature provides.
Add in a little bit of discomfort or a twist to your expectations for your outdoor experience and those moments will likely be even more impactful.
This photo was taken during a hike where the precipitation varied from sprinkles to a deluge for no less than 4 miles of the hike. Was everyone always smiling and happy like this along the way? No. But did each person push through their discomfort and support each other along the way? Absolutely!
Two years later, the stories are still being shared from this hike. Now the smiles are accompanied by laughter and the warmth of memories from the experience.
