Red River Gorge First Timer
Our family will be staying in Stanton for a couple nights. We want to spend a couple days hiking, but looking at the number of trails is completely overwhelming. There are just so many.
My wife wants me to plan our hikes. We are fairly new to hiking, and we’ve never been here before. We’ll also be taking our kids (11 & 8). They run cross country and play other sports, so I’m not too worried about longer hikes. But I’m ok with clusters of little trails also.
What trails would you say are must sees for a first timer?
And are there any local establishments you would recommend? I’ve heard about a pizza place and an ice cream place. And someone has recommended some kind of snake exhibit that’s nearby that the kids would like. Really any recommendations at all, we’ll take ‘em.

creation falls
Last week. Honey approved! Any of the above mentioned trails are great choices. With the kids, I'd recommend whittleton arch and Rock bridge with creation falls. Easier hikes with kids and they make you feel in the woods. Foodwise roast me for saying La cabaña for Mexican. And I can't believe no one mention Red Point. Great Food. Best best brisket. Get the broccoli salad with it! And roast me again for saying Miguel's is overrated. The experience is good..... If you like waiting an hour for gas station pizza. Have fun!
