What’s Included
Basically, you just need to show up and finish the hikes - we’ll take care of the rest!
Lodging. Our home away from home is at BedRock RRG - a clean, modern, inviting hostel, and a real gem in the Commonwealth. Sitting on a nice piece of property just up the road from Muir Valley, BedRock has a cozy, comfortable feel with a large community space and lots of subtle touches. There is a large fire pit and each room has its own exit to the outside.
Meals. We’ll provide all meals over the course of the weekend. We’ve got you covered if you eat meat, only eat veggies, vegan or gluten free. We also cater in some local restaurants for portions of the weekend to support them and give you the local experience. We’ll start each morning with hot breakfasts before our hikes. For lunch we provide all the items for you to pack your own trail lunch which typically includes jerky, trail bars, PB&J, fruit, etc.
Hikes. We’ll plan a number of hikes for the weekend that you can enjoy with the group, or you can choose to go off on your own to someplace new:-) If you choose the solo option, we’ll provide hike details if available including trailhead directions, hike navigation, and GPS waypoints.
Yoga. We’ll do a little yoga over the weekend to loosen up after hiking and know that the focus will be on getting a good stretch and developing a smooth, relaxed vibe.
Post-Hike Chillaxing. So long as it's not raining, we’ll be spending a good bit of time around the fire. With sunset coming early, we’ll make our own light with a roaring campfire:-) Should Mother Nature have other plans, we’ll be indoors enjoying a little more yoga, shuffleboard, and some good conversation.
BYOB. We wouldn’t dare presume whether you’re a fine wine, Bud Light, or bourbon kind of hiker, so please bring your own libations;-)
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cancellation/refund policy for this trip?
With a small group event like this, we do not offer refunds. That said, if you find that you can’t make it, and If there is someone to take your spot, you will receive a refund for the amount paid, less a $150 transaction & cancelation fee. If no one is available to replace your spot at the adventure, we are sorry no refund.
Is it the same price whether I have one or two people in a room?
Yes. The price is for the room, and you can have one or two persons in there.
Are children allowed to participate?
No. This is an adults only experience and all participants must be at least 21 years of age.
How difficult will the hiking be?
The hikes we have planned are a highlight reel of Red River Gorge and require a solid effort. This won’t be soul crushing backpacking in the deep woods, but it’s also not a series of drive-up hikes from a tour bus. Hikes will be rates as moderate overall, and count on having a few short, strenuous sections climbing and descending into and out of the gorge.
What if the weather sucks?
Hiking, of course, is weather dependent. We’ll hike rain or shine unless severe weather is expected in the area.
Will there be bathrooms and showers?
Yes. BedRock is super clean and very modern - complete with bathrooms and showers. There are three showers each in the men’s and women’s bathrooms.
What if I have to poop on a hike?
Mike will show you how to dig a cathole, employ a yogi squat, and bury your treasure! If you’re nice, he’ll show you to a nice tree to hug:-)
