Take a step back in time this weekend!
Gladie Visitor Center staff are offering guided tours of the historic Gladie Cabin from 3-4pm every weekend until July 30. Tours will explore the history of the homestead as well as modern restoration efforts. #tbt https://t.co/djAbY9PCoS
You may smell smoke this morning from the fires burning in Estill County. An Eastern breeze is pushing some smoke to the West, impacting our air quality #kywx
We took Darren’s brother to the Gorge for his first time ever! The fall colors are POPPING. Get out there if you can!

On a sunny, breezy day it can take less than an hour. Fallen leaves, pine needles & small diameter twigs are called "1hr Fuels" because they adapt to changing weather conditions in about an hour. Always #DrownStirFeel to ensure that your campfire is #DeadOut!
There have been three wildfires in the Red River Gorge thanks to recent warm, dry conditions. We encourage you exercise extreme caution with any open flames & to skip campfires in favor of stargazing until conditions improve. #FireSeason#OnlyYouCanPreventWildfires

#DYK that abandoned campfires are the leading cause of wildfires on the Daniel Boone National Forest?
Make sure that your campfire is dead out by repeatedly drowning it, stirring it & testing it with the back of your bare hand. If it's too hot to touch, it's too hot to leave!
#DYK that drones cause all aerial fire suppression to stop?
We've received helicopter support for the Tarr Ridge Wildfire in the Red River Gorge. They are a key resource that can only help when the sky is clear. #NoDroneZone
