Clifty Wilderness

Clifty Wilderness protects 13,000 acres of rugged Kentucky backcountry where sandstone cliffs drop into hardwood hollows. This Red River Gorge neighbor doesn’t get the same fanfare, but it delivers the same dramatic rock formations and dense forest solitude. Steep terrain keeps the crowds thin and the experience raw. It’s proof that wilderness doesn’t need name recognition to be worth protecting. Rep a place that rewards those who seek it out.
