Access Issue: Thompson Canyon Details

The gate to Thompson Canyon's southern end is locked and is no longer a viable option for short and convenient access. The standard access is now via the longer, rougher Davenport Lookout/Thompson Canyon route.

New Mexico CRAG (NMCRAG) will continue to be in contact with the ranch owners and the Forest Service to see if it can resolve this issue. In the meantime, please respect the closure, spread the word and please do not attempt to drive through the private ranch.

Description

The Mother Goose Wall has the highest concentration of easy to moderate routes at Enchanted Tower and is pretty popular for this reason. The wall features vertical routes on usually big holds. In the last few years, a couple of routes were done to fill in the left-center area, bringing the total to around ten routes here.

Getting There

Mother Goose is located down at the left end of the main Enchanted Wall areas (opposite end from the tower). A right-to-left trail leads up from the road to the base of the wall. Approach time is around five minutes.
