I'm leaving chicago later today and heading to the Red River Gorge area. Someone please recommend an over night loop for me of about 10 -15 miles or so. Thanks

Grays arch trailhead, Rough Trail all the way to the Sheltowee, Koomer Ridge to Buck Trail, then pinch-em tight to the trailhead. Make sure you have some good topos, you will see a good bit of water.

Are the trails marked and easy to follow. Why topo's?Originally Posted by Aardvark
I'm looking for a no brained that I can just hit the trail and go out for a night.
The Red River Gorge can be unforgiving if you are not prepared for it. It is fairly well marked, this particular trail I showed you will give you your moneys worth in hiking features.... there is a reason it is called Rough Trail. A lot of people have been hurt however, and I always consider it a requirement to be safe... if nothing else, with a good map, you can determine if you have gone off trail.
This link takes you to some pretty good topos, that are printable. Call me cautious, but I still take my maps there and I have been hitting RRG for 25 years.

This almost the exact route I took a month ago. Here's a link to my trip report. You will have a great time!
