Hiking Red River Gorge was started by a Kentucky native, Mike Johnson. The goal was to provide safe, family friendly, guided hikes though out Red River Gorge. While hiking, Mike, and his other trail guides would always run into people either lost or clueless as to the secrets Red River Gorge held. After a quick conversation he would have them back on the right path or give them some information on cool camping spots that are off the beaten path. Hiking Red River Gorge's team of knowledgeable trail guides want to give each of their clients an experience to remember. Allowing their clients to comfortably venture out on less known trails that they otherwise wouldn't see.

Their knowledgeable trail guides will take anyone on an adventure of a lifetime. Exploring many trails off the beaten path. The guided day hikes offered by Hiking Red River Gorge range from a couple hours up to a full day. These hikes can be customized to included more than one hike in a single trip. Many of which can easily be an overnight trip. Hiking Red River Gorge provides a souvenir water bottle and snacks on all day hikes.
