This might be the most underrated (and affordable!) fall destination in the USA 🍂👇🏼 

Welcome to the Red River Gorge, a hidden gem in eastern Kentucky where rent averages just $400/month making it an affordable vacation destination

📍The gorge is located about 1 hour from Lexington and 4 hours from Nashville and the area is packed with outdoor adventures, cozy treehouses and great food. Here’s how to spend the perfect fall weekend ⬇️

Day 1 – Friday
🌲 Check into your stay with Red River Gorgeous Cabins where the Looking Glass Treehouse and Pirate Ship Cliff House are two of the most unique stays in the gorge
🔥 Spend the evening relaxing under the stars or around a campfire.

Day 2 – Saturday
🚠 Start your morning with the Natural Bridge Skylift where you can take a chair lift and then walk over and under this sandstone arch
🍕 Grab lunch at Miguel’s Pizza, a local hangout famous with rock climbers.
🐟 Take a glass bottom kayak tour on an underground flooded limestone mine (this one’s a must)!
🍗 End the day with dinner at RedPoint BBQ which has arguably the best food in the area 

Day 3 – Sunday
☕️ Start your morning at Daniel Boone Coffee Shop before cruising the Red River Gorge Scenic Byway, passing through the famous Nada Tunnel.
💦 If it’s recently rained, stop by Copperas Falls for a hidden waterfall adventure just be ready for some creek crossings and a hard to follow trail (download an offline map)!

The Red River Gorge is a true hidden gem that feels untouched and fall colors are peaking now so book your trip and get out there! 🍁

Videos taken between Oct 20th - 23rd, 2025 so fall colors are peaking now!!
