Access Issue: 2024 Seasonal Raptor Closure Details

A limited number of crags on the west side of Lake Koocanusa are closed through August 31, 2024 to protect Peregrine Falcon habitat. These include:

- Pit Stop
- the Ruins
- Hidden Buttresss
- Great White
- Dawn Walls
- Don Juan
- Sunburst
- Naked Cliff
- Dihedral Wall
- Science Lab

All other crags are unaffected by the closure, which you can find here: fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DO…

Description

No seasonal falcon closure, sunny in the a.m./shade by 5 p.m., some of the longest routes at Stone Hill.

All of the Lakeside Walls routes can be found in the 2023 Stone Hill guide (link on the main page).

Getting There

West across the bridge, go right (north), drive one mile, just past the Canadian Roadcut park on the right side of the road about 200 ft. up the guardrail. Find a cairn below the guardrail and follow the obvious trail down the hill (about a five minute walk) to the base of Upper Lakeside Wall and just beyond to Lower Lakeside Wall and past that to some new routes developed in 2018 (Arborist, Ben Parson's, etc.).
