The Gorge, known for its unspoiled scenic beauty and numerous hiking trails, is one of Kentucky's most popular natural destinations, attracting over 500,000 visitors a year.

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

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the moment Daniel Boone first "gained the summit of a commanding ridge, and...beheld the ample plains, the beauteous tracts below," generations of Kentuckians have developed rich and enduring relationships with the land that surrounds them. Of Woods & Waters: A Kentucky Outdoors Reader is filled with loving tributes, written across the Commonwealth's two centuries, offered in celebration of Kentucky's widely varied environmental wonders that nurture both life and art. Ron Ellis, an outdoors enthusiast and noted writer, has gathered art, fiction, personal essays and poetry from many of Kentucky's best-known authors for this comprehensive collection. The anthology begins with famed illustrator John James Audubon's eloquent account of extracting catfish from the Ohio River and progresses through over fifty contributions by both established and emerging writers. Covering two hundred years of hunting, fishing, camping, cooking, hiking, and canoeing in Kentucky's woods and waters, these classic and original works show how writers have, as celebrated Kentucky historian Thomas D. Clark suggests, "fallen under the spell of the land." Of Woods & Waters does not merely recount fond memories. Many authors presented in this collection echo the sentiments of the award-winning novelist and essayist Barbara Kingsolver, who writes, "Much of what I know about life, and almost everything I believe about the way I want to live, was formed in those woods" adjacent to her birthplace in Nicholas County, Kentucky. The works collected in Of Woods & Waters serve to honor and defend what many recognize as a sadly declining way of life, one born out of genuine reverence for the beauty and bounty of nature. The contributions of Wendell Berry, Janice Holt Giles, Bobbie Ann Mason, Jesse Stuart, James Still, Robert Penn Warren, James Baker Hall, Silas House, and other esteemed authors examine the delicate balances that must be struck between humanity and nature, between progress and sustainable living. While raising these crucial questions, these writings center on connections among friends and family in Kentucky's beautiful natural surroundings. The authors spin tales of the whistling wings of ducks overhead, the heart-pounding excitement of a white-tailed buck's sudden appearance, the joy of childhood plunges into cold lake waters after hours of climbing trees, and the thrill of watching sons and daughters catch their first fish. In these writings, the bountiful Kentucky wilderness that first captivated frontier settlers remains vibrantly alive.
