Access Issue: West side of park complete closure information Details

jeffco.us/980/Alderfer-Thre….

CLOSED: Forestry Closure Update - FULL WEST SIDE CLOSURE begins 12/11.

The west side of the park will be completely closed for forest health mitigation until further notice (~mid-2024, weather-dependent). The west trailhead parking lot will remain open for access to the south. Trails impacted by closure: Mountain Muhly Trail, Bearberry Trail, Homestead Trail, Silver Fox Trail, Ponderosa Trail, and the majority of Sisters Trail. 2023 ALD Forestry - a map of the Second Segment Closure (PDF) can be found through the link above.

The eastern side of the park and trailhead have reopened following completed forestry work in that area.

Description

This area offers some good chance for shade and good sun as well. The rock quality is good but many of the problems are short. However, the lines are still worth checking out and a few classics lay hidden in this private feeling nook. If you are in the area, a must do is Prince Charles (V7-V8). Enjoy!!

Getting There

There are a few ways to find this area, but the easiest way to locate the area is to follow the same approach as you would if you were heading to the "Land of The Slabs."

Follow the Sisters trail to the land of the slabs... once in the general area, you want to head up hill (East) into a skinny bottleneck-type pass.

This area converges with "The Land Of The Slabs" area then continues over the pass and includes the East-facing slopes. From these slopes, you can see the Sisters formation to your North, and you can look down towards the "Child's Play" Boulder as well as view the "Eggs" area form the East slopes of "The Pass."
