Hanson’s Point - The Best View In The Red River Gorge (Kentucky Backpacking)
Bringing you along on our one night backpacking trip to Hanson’s Point in Kentucky’s Red River Gorge. We highly recommend checking out this area, especially for sunset or sunrise. There are plenty of great campsites a short hike from the overlook. The out and back trail as we hiked it was about 5 miles round trip. We started at the Pinch-em Tight Trailhead and hiked the Pinch-em Tight Trail to the Rough Trail and then took the unmarked trail that branches off of the Rough Trail out to Hanson’s point.
Campsite Location: (37.8168801, -83.6313964). This group of sites was about 5 minutes from the overlook.
Notes:
-Parking is at the Pinch-em Tight Trailhead off Tunnel Ridge Road. The parking lot fills up fast on weekends so make sure to get there early.
-If you plan on camping along the trail you will need to purchase a parking permit from one of the local businesses. Permit prices are $3/1 day, $5/3 days, or $30/annually. Permits are not required for day use. Camping is not permitted in any picnic area or parking area, within 300 feet of any road or developed trail, or within 100 feet of the base of any cliff, or the back of any rockshelter. When camping you will need to hang your food and garbage at least 10 feet off the ground and 4 feet away from the trunk of the tree, or store it in a bear proof canister.
-Always pack out more than you pack in, it’s our job to keep these trails clean. Always follow good Leave No Trace principles when in the outdoors.
