Guided Rock Climbing In Kentucky Is The Ultimate Family-Friendly Adventure
There are certain outdoor adventures throughout Kentucky that are a bit intimidating and rock climbing likely tops the list. It makes sense that it would, given that many people don’t know how to scale a rocky wall in the middle of nowhere with their hands and feet, nor should they try it without proper safety equipment and guidance. But if you do have an interest in guided rock climbing in Kentucky, even if you’re new to the sport, the folks at Grippi Guides are a great option.

The perfect getaway for anyone but especially couples.
“The General’s Cabin is rich in history, craftsmanship, natural beauty, and seclusion. My husband and I enjoyed the time at the cabin–the hikes, the front porch, star gazing, and the tranquility of the pond. We also enjoyed how close the cabin was to the Red River Gorge. We spent hours at the Gorge hiking and seeing the natural wonders there, only to retreat to our own natural wonders at The General’s Cabin. We will be returning year after year!”
Remote, Peaceful and Inspirational
“I spent a week at The General’s Cabin drafting my first-ever novel. This was the first time–but not the last–that I have spent a week by myself in a remote setting. Any anxiety I might have had quickly dissipated upon talking to Joy when I made my reservation and I was further comforted when she called to check on me and assure me that I could contact her quickly and easily if I had concerns or questions.”
Experience a ``life well-lived`` by taking a few steps in General Little's shoes
“History buffs will, and should, read the short biography stationed at the desk in the main room. As one of my buddies said about half way through, “Wow, this guy was the real deal.” You might book The General’s Cabin with the idea that you’ll have a great place to stay while you’re exploring the nearby Red River Gorge; on the other hand, you might conclude that you can hike any time and you’d rather stay at the cabin to fully absorb its charm. I enthusiastically recommend it as a perennial destination.”
