THE STORY:

When a hiker named Caleb vanishes in Red River Gorge, all he leaves behind are torn journal pages, half-finished thoughts, and a path of cryptic clues stretching across the mountains he once explored as a child. Now, it’s your job to follow in his footsteps and uncover what really happened on the Mountain… before the smoke fades for good.

You'll uncover pieces of Caleb’s story at iconic and easy-to-reach locations—no climbing gear or cell signal required (after initially accessing the adventure). 🧭
