Catch a glimpse of one of Kentucky’s most famous natural landmarks in a new way by zip lining above Red River Gorge during the height of fall. Red River Gorge Ziplines offers a canopy-tour experience for adventurers of all ages between 70 and 250 pounds. The experience includes five zips and lasts between one to two hours depending on group size, with the longest zip running 1,900 feet. Experienced guides lead visitors on a journey that takes them 300 feet above Kentucky’s famous Red River Gorge, sharing information on the flora and fauna that call Daniel Boone National Forest home. Travelers can also book a stay at the on-site Cliffview Resort. Because autumn is a particularly busy time at Red River Gorge due to the region’s natural beauty and the popularity of the zip lining experience, reservations are essential. 455 Cliffview Rd., Campton, Kentucky 41301, 606/668-9930, redrivergorgezipline.com
