HIKE DESCRIPTION
Red River Gorge is a backpacker’s paradise. There is so much to explore, would take many years to see everything it has to offer.
Our trip began at the Chimney Top Road trail head at 221 Rough Trail, which had many stream crossing, and a trechorus climb with some nice views along the way. Once at the top we would come to a spur trail just to the right Note: the spur trail
is incospicuous, bearly noticable and isn’t on the map anywhere.
