Backpack | Dave Derick: (502) 451-4274 |
Red River Gorge Slade, KY |
Strenuous |
| The Gorge takes on a different personality in winter. The foliage disappears to reveal geological formations dusted with snow. Waterfalls are frozen in time and a more tranquil mood prevails. The route will depend upon winter conditions and group experience. A strenuous backpack for the well-conditioned and experienced.
