Off-Roading to Red River Gorge Rock Climbing l On The Trail

It's a full-on outdoor adventure on this episode of On the Trail, as we go off-roading in Daniel Boone National Forest to do some Red River Gorge rock climbing. Hosts Dario Ventura and Dru Mack take out trucks, equipped with Nitto Trail Grappler and Terra Grappler G2 tires, that let them go past the parking lot, over rocks and through streams to get in multiple climbs in one day.

To get them up and over every obstacle in between them and their destinations, Dario and Dru brought out a stock 2019 Toyota Tundra on Nitto Trail Grapplers and a stock Ford Ranger FX4 on Nitto Terra Grappler G2s. The trail system in Red River Gorge is extensive, but overall is not too technical, so stock vehicles on good tires like these shouldn’t have too much trouble. So long as you have a buddy to spot you, as they both do, you should be able to make your way through the obstacles without any problems.

Of course, you still need to conquer those obstacles to get to the rock climbing, and Dario and Dru decided to drive to both the Motherlode and Miller Fork. Both of these rock walls have a ton of technical and fun climbing that any outdoor adventurer should experience, especially if they’re in Kentucky. The day ends, as all good days do, with some dinner with friends, this time at Miguel’s Pizza right outside the Gorge.
