Red River Scenic Gorge - Kentucky: Just 3 hours traveling I-65 to I-64 all the way out of Indianapolis and then you can enter another world, a nearly forgotten place of beauty and back country fun. Starting at Winchester, Kentucky just southeast of Lexington, you will begin to find yourself on a path to true mountain backroads. Take Exit 98 off of I-64 onto the Bert T. Combs Mountain Parkway. From the BTCMP, you will turn right on K 77 or the Red River Gorge Scenic Byway. This will take you through the gorge to K 715. Continue this route to Gladie Environmental Learning Center open mid-March through November. Here you can embark on outdoor adventures including rock climbing or hiking. Hiking is abundant along the Byway, ranging from half-hour jaunts to 370-mile epics. The Sheltowee Trace National Recreation Trail follows Daniel Boone's footsteps and traverses high ridges, plunges into deep gorges, and skirts clear streams and whitewater river sections.
