Overland the Red
Overland Basecamp Experience & Benefit For The Daniel Boone Backcountry Byway presented by Dan Cummins Auto Group
Ride the DBBB
“The Daniel Boone Backcountry Byway (DBBB) is a moderately difficult, high clearance route for licensed, street legal 4WD vehicles. It utilizes historic county roads around the Red River Gorge and Daniel Boone National Forest. It contains terrain surfaces varying between gravel, trail, and asphalt.” Folks will gather each morning to group up for crowd-sourced trail rides. For guided rides in Hollerwood, contact Sam Justice.
Scenic self-guided tours
The Red River Gorge scenic byway is located in the Red River Gorge on the Cumberland District of the Daniel Boone National Forest. Attractions on the byway include the Gladie Visitor Center, Nada Tunnel, and views of stone arches or unique rock formations. Portions of the byway also parallel the Red River, a designated wild and scenic river.

About the Event
Thanks @OverlandPioneers for capturing the highlights and special moments from the inaugural Overland the Red event in the Red River Gorge, KY. This overland and off-road basecamp was a huge success thanks to our attendees, sponsors and the amazing staff at Callie’s Lake and Campground. We gave away over $10k in prizes, including a TC Teardrops Oasis Overland camper trailer in a raffle that raised over $3,300 for the Daniel Boone Backcountry Byway.
