Book excerpt: The Red River Gorge has become Kentucky's most popular hiking and climbing area, and for good reasons. Its miles of rugged cliff lines and countless arches, all set against the backdrop of Daniel Boone National Forest, are difficult for outdoor lovers to ignore. Despite the area's countless attractions and popularity, however, visitors seeking information and accurate directions to many of the area's finest attractions, such as Indian Staircase, are likely to come up empty-handed, with incorrect information, or genuinely perplexed about things. The Forest Service, state park, and others one might expect to promote some of Kentucky's finest attractions are generally ignorant of, elusive about, or intentionally misleading about many of them. Consequently, visitors seeking in-depth information about the area must resort to word of mouth or spend hours surfing the internet for "the scoop" on destinations such as Eagle Point Buttress, Hopewell Arch, Copperas Falls, and countless others. Or they can simply purchase Hinterlands. For fifteen years, Hinterlands has provided hikers information about user-created trails in the Red River Gorge region, and many of these trails lead to jaw-dropping attractions. While primarily designed and intended as a simple hiking supplement, it has become the de facto guide to both well-known and obscure features in the area. Visitors looking for new trails, new attractions, arches, private camping spots, and other "insider" information about the Red River Gorge should begin with Hinterlands. The 2020 edition features new trails, new aerial photos, and more
