The Far Side

Kentucky > Rockcastle River

Description

Pockets and Plates sandstone. Very secluded

Getting There

From the car, the approach is the same as second hand smoke. From second hand smoke continue north to the old road/pipeline. Once at the old road/pipeline turn right (East) heading up the hill for 20 yards. Climb a small ramp and gain the trail leading to Super Splitter Wall and Mind Funk Wall. Follow this trail/cliff line, under another waterfall and under many rock shelters.

Here's the cut-off to the trail. Not too secret, but possible to miss.
