This was a great trail for our first overnight stay because it is easy, there are ample places to camp along the trail, and the view at the end is spectacular.  Star gazing at Hanson\u2019s point on a clear fall night was magic, but it wasn\u2019t for the faint of heart.  The drops along the point are huge and scary, so keep your kids close and please do not walk here while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">This a great, versatile hike that can be done as a short day hike or an easy, introductory overnight.  It is a good option for group camping as well due to the large, shaded, areas for camping along the trail.  Additionally, this hike can be combined with other trails nearby (such as Gray\u2019s Arch) for a longer loop hike.  Do be aware that the last portion of the hike is on an unmarked, unofficial, but well-worn trail.  Whether you are looking for a short day hike with a big pay out or an overnight stay, read on for details about his great trail.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.agent=\"plsquarespace\";n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,document,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');fbq('init', '1270547210141230');fbq('track', \"PageView\");<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction to Hanson\u2019s Point In November of 2019, we took our first family backpacking trip in the Red River Gorge to Hanson\u2019s point.
