Officially known as Muir Valley Nature Preserve, Muir Valley is one of Red River Gorge's crown jewels. Originally the area was privately owned by Rick and Liz Weber, but in March 2015 the Webers gifted the land to the non-profit Friends of Muir Valley (FOMV), a 501(c)3 organization. FOMV is now 100% responsible for the ownership, in addition to funding and up-keeping the property.
The valley is home to more than 30 separate climbing walls, all open to climbers at no charge, a $15 fee is charged per car for parking to offset maintenance costs.
Some important rules must be followed to ensure future access and enjoyment by all. A complete list can be found at muirvalley.org/tabs/#pills-1 , but the most important are listed below:

Description
Climb the plated features to a crack system, and chimney behind a large flake. Standing on top of the flake you can choose to go left onto a ledge and climb straight up, clipping two bolts (Put The Best Foot Forward) or continue angling right out a crack system towards send me on my way. Top out a large ledge where you'll find a set of rappel anchors or end on Send Me on My Way if no other parties are occupying that anchor.
The rock quality deteriorates when Get on the Good Foot angles out right, be careful not to knock rocks on those below or choose to clip up the bolts and finish on Put the Best Foot Forward for better rock quality.
