Description Suggest change

Accessed via Fixer Road and NOT Bald Rock Fork Road (the Lode Hill), these crags are located within the Coal Bank Hollow parcel of PMRP, northwest and entirely separate from the main Bald Rock Valley where PMRP proper and BRRP reside.

Getting There Suggest change

From KY-11 heading south, take a right onto Fixer Rd near a sign for Peaceful Valley, before Koop's. Make the first left and follow the paved road which eventually turns to gravel. About a mile after the road turns to gravel look for a big gas tank on the left with faded white stripes painted on it, turn right here and follow the road to a parking lot with a RRGCC kiosk.
