Spring time Peregrine closures (it lasts until the end summer) MORE INFO >>>
The Burr Trail is the only place I've encountered Peregrine closuers around Escalante. We also ran into a not so friendly "climbing" ranger who actually got off his duff to hike out to tell us that we couldn't climb where we were. He "pointed" out a nest that none of us could see, down the canyon 500+yards, even with binoculars. I say this because he HATED the idea of Longs canyon becoming a "Moab" (and even said so). Don't worry buddy, the rock here is not nearly as good..;)

This route lies about 600 yards north from the tourist slot canyon. There is a sign in spring posted that climbing beyond this point is illegal due to Peregrine Falcons. Look for the obvious window up high on the formation
2 double rope raps get you back down. Replacement slings for rap stations might be nice.
