SLADE, Ky. (LEX 18) â Visitors come from all over the world to see Red River Gorge. Neither the pandemic nor winter storms have slowed that momentum. People that have never been here that live in Lexington, Louisville, or surrounding areas are coming here for outdoor adventure because it s safe at this time, said Miranda Fallen, Powell County Tourism executive director.
This time last year, Nancy Hamann s businesses were shut down due to restrictions on Gorge visitors. One year later, the Daniel Boone Coffee Shop and adjacent cabin rental company are thriving. But the success has brought on a new problem.
