I was hoping someone could answer a question. My girlfriend and I were considering making a trip down to KY to Red River Gorge around Thanksgiving. Is the weather still decent about that time of year?

Beautiful weather yet, and make it there for the end-of-season Thanksgiving week feast at Miguels for sure.

Two thumbs up for RRG at Thanksgiving! Chilly in the morning, but superb climbing from 10am-5pm (gets dark earlier). Check out True North Outfitters, if you dont want to camp. Their site must be offline, but you can get info here redrivergorge.com/lodging.html. I think it was $14 a night for warm bed, shower and really nice breakfast.

Yeah, and you dont want to miss Thanksgiving at Miguels. $5 for an insane amount of great food.

+1 for a great time of year. I was there at the beginning of Nov last year and climbed every day we were there.

+1 for staying and feasting at True North. Climbing is beautiful, with the last of fall colors still in the trees. Also helps you can find the cliff line a bit better in the late fall.

Oct to Nov is the best time to go down there. Same with Mar-June.

i've been down there as late as mid-november and conditions were great. cool temps, dry air; probably better to stick to sunny areas, though, mornings were chilly and with the short days we wanted to get out fairly early.

Does anyone know if the true north still does lodging and if Miguel’s still has Thanksgiving!?
