Red River Gorge

Lexington Kentucky

Recharge in the Outdoors

There’s nothing like an escape into the Bluegrass to calm your mind and feed your spirit. With more than 90 parks, trails, and green spaces, outdoor fun in Lexington starts the moment you leave the hotel. Within a short drive, you can see where the Bluegrass kisses the Appalachian Mountains. You can chase waterfalls. You can hike into absolute seclusion. And you can explore the Red River Gorge, one of the best-kept geological wonders in America.
