Access Issue: COVID-19 Notice & Seasonal Closures Details

Per Dustin Bergman, CO State Parks Officer #770, ECSP:

Eldorado Canyon SP is STRONGLY DISCOURAGING CLIMBING at this time due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Climbing is NOT ADVISED. Social distancing is challenging in Eldorado Canyon SP with climbing. The park office is closed. Warnings (& possible evictions from the SP) may be issued for violations of the social distancing requirement for a minimum of 6 feet between people not in the same household. In addition, touching surfaces contacted by others, which occurs on climbing routes and between climbing partners sharing equipment & rope(s), is a risk.

Rescues related to this sport are highly technical, require a large number of rescue personnel and equipment, and they generally result in an ambulance ride to the hospital. Please respect the statewide state-at-home order.

Seasonal Raptor Closures
Check Park site for current closures:

Double check prior to venturing there. Thanks!

Description

This is a large, rectangular block of rock with an obvious chimney near the center of the east side of the feature. The rock is the same Fountain Sandstone found in Eldo.

Getting There

This rock is up the East Draw of Eldorado, located on the north side of the east ridge of Shirttail Peak. It is best accessed by hiking up from the Old South Mesa Trail.
