Nine Hikers Rescued in Kentucky Gorge | Chicago News

Nine young men from northwest Indiana got lost in Kentucky’s treacherous Red River Gorge during a storm, stranded without food or water and facing steep cliffs and disorientation — but they made the smart move to call for help, leading to a dramatic rescue by the Wolfe County Search and Rescue team who safely lowered them using a 30-foot line. The guys were overjoyed to be saved, and rescuers warned that this unofficial trail is dangerously rugged — especially after dark. If you’re hiking, always pack essentials, download offline maps, and never hesitate to call for help when things go wrong.
