Access Issue: RAIN, WET ROCK and RAPTOR CLOSURES: The sandstone around Moab is fragile and is very easily damaged when it is wet. Also please ask and be aware of Raptor Closures in areas such as CAT WALL and RESERVOIR WALL in Indian Creek Details

WET ROCK: Holds rip off and climbs have been and will continue to be permanently damaged due to climbers not respecting this phenomenon. After a heavy storm the rock will remain wet, sometimes for several days. PLEASE DO NOT CLIMB IN MOAB during or after rain.

RAPTOR CLOSURES: please be aware of seasonal raptor closures. They occur annually in the spring.

Description

Park Avenue is an area of the park that runs N/S and is bordered by significant walls, formations, and towers on both sides - most notably Argon Tower at the North end. A trail runs between the canyon walls on slickrock from a pullout at the South end to the Courthouse Parking area on the North end.

Getting There

Most routes are approached via Courthouse Parking (walk across the street to a well-cairned and worn trail).
