Meander along rolling hills of the lush Scottish countryside, trace the banks of Loch Lomond while making your way through vibrant oak forests, and wander up and over the windswept highlands as you walk the West Highland Way from its southern terminus in Milngavie (pronounced Mul-guy) to its northern terminus in Fort William.
This 96 mile (154.4km) expanse of trail is perfect for fit and healthy adventurers of all ages. If you like to rough it, pack your gear on your back and wild camp the entire way. If you prefer a few creature comforts, campgrounds are easily found in each town you pass through - treat yourself to a hot shower, restock on food and enjoy a cold draft at the tavern. If you are not on a budget and would delight in the extra luxury, spend each night in an inn and be treated to a warm bed and breakfast the next morning.
Baggage Carrying Service
Some of you may be thinking, “This all sounds well and good, but I am not sure I want to carry a pack with all my belongings…
When I tell people I am from Eastern Kentucky, someone usually makes a joke about the old film, Deliverance, or Colonel Sanders. There are several ideas and stereotypes about my home state that are not all too positive in nature. Delving into those is for another day, however. Right now I want to take you on a journey through Eastern Kentucky, and show you that it is more than a stereotype. It is a place worth exploring.
Red River Gorge
The Red River Gorge is a place unknown to most unless you are a climber. The 29,000-acre expanse of forest and canyon boast some of the best climbing this side of the Mississippi. I have met people from all over the world who have come to explore the trad lines or attend Rocktoberfest at the Red.
For those of us who are not such a fan of heights, the Gorge offers ample other outdoor adventures. Take a day hike or spend a few nights on the trail to experience all this hidden gem has to offer - from arches and sweeping canyon views to peaceful waterfalls…
