Every, effective January 30th, a temporary climbing closure is in effect for Mt. Minsi on the Pennsylvania side of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area when peregrine falcons attempt to nest on the cliff. As in past years, the falcons will be monitored and the cliff will re-open as soon as the nest is no longer active.
