Access issues inherited from Red River Gorge

Vary from area to area: some public land, some private land, some land held by the Red River Gorge Climber's Coalition (RRGCC). Please refer to the individual crags for more details.

Approach

Parking is about 1 mile east of Nada Tunnel in a parking lot just off KY 77 to the left.

Approach is across the road back towards the tunnel on the left. Cross a wooden bridge and go straight, stay on the trail past a sign for a spur on the right leading to Military wall, cross a stream, trail goes up a hill and you come out at the cliff face.
