Access Issue: Road closure and reopened after flood damage! Details

Per Steven Armijo: Cheyenne Canyon Road is closed until May 2022 for bridge repairs. Only hiking and biking trail access is allowed into the canyon.

Per Stewart M. Green: the North Cheyenne Canyon was reopened after the floods of 2015.

Per Stewart M. Green: ATTENTION!! The Colorado Springs Parks Department has CLOSED ALL CITY PARKS, including Garden of the Gods, Red Rock Canyon Open Space, and North Cheyenne Canon, to rock climbing for the upcoming Memorial Day weekend.

This is due to record rainfall totals in western Colorado Springs which as caused severe trail and parking lot damage, saturated the sandstone cliffs, and is causing parts of cliffs to break off.

The parks will be re-evaluated on Monday to determine how the closure will last.

Please respect the closures and take care of our precious climbing areas!

Description

A south-facing, 40-foot-high buttres of granite. There is only one route here (and probably won't be others in the future), but it is worth the hike if you are climbing at the grade

Getting There

Drive up the canyon to the large dirt parking lot where High Drive and Gold Camp Road diverge. Hike up High Drive as little as 10 feet or as far as 200 yards until you find a break in the short, crumbly cliff band that seems resonable enough for you. Once over this, follow the path of least resistence up scree fields and scrub oak. A good 10 to 15 min of hard work will lead you to a very small looking boulder that is not visible from the parking lot or during the hike. But have faith, you will stumble upon it. Error on the side of being too far left as you go up since this will give you the best chance of finding it.
