DescriptionOfficially known as Muir Valley Nature Preserve, Muir Valley is one of Red River Gorge's crown jewels. Privately owned by Rick and Liz Weber, the valley is home to more than 20 separate climbing areas, all open to climbers at no charge.
Getting ThereIf you're driving from Miguel's, follow KY 11 south for about six miles to the intersection with KY 715. Take 715 for about 2.5 miles, then turn right onto CR 2016. Follow this road just over a mile past a closed carpet store, then take the first gravel road to the left. Continue down this road, bearing left at each fork. After about 3/4 of a mile, turn right on a gravel drive to the parking area (you'll see a garage). Take the appropriate trail to the area where you plan to climb.
