Because of these access uncertainties, the CCC asks that route-specific information be kept off the internet. The CCC hopes you enjoy the new parking lot, the trails, and the incredible rock climbs! Do your part to maintain access to this area - climb safe, be polite to the locals, stay quiet, leave dogs at home, and keep rockin'!

Access Issues:

From the CCC website: "There are a number of dogs that live in the neighborhood around Hidden Valley and hunting dogs are sometime around as well. In addition, adjacent land owners hunt on their property and have asked that climbers do not bring dogs onto their property. In order to reduce the potential for conflicts, DOGS ARE NOT ALLOWED, DO NOT BRING YOUR DOG TO HIDDEN VALLEY."

In 2015, the CCC purchased access to the cliffs at Hidden Valley. Although a small handful of the 450 existing routes lie on CCC property, the majority of the climbing at Hidden Valley is not on CCC property. There are several land managers and owners in the mix at Hidden Valley, each with varying understanding of, or formal acceptance of climbing.

Getting There

From Abingdon, VA take 19 North about 9.5 miles, turn right onto 690(Hidden Valley RD.) look for signage, Hidden Valley Lake / Hidden Valley Wildlife Area CCC parking lot on the right. Two trails one opposite the rd. one out of the parking lot
