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

South of the Tower, the tooth looking formation across the valley from the Frog Prince area. Great shade for a few routes back in the cave, the outside routes are pretty nice too.

Getting There

Follow a tattered trail out of the first campground east and look for faint switchbacks to the south, and head up to the tooth looking formation.

Grumpy (5.11 c/d)
