Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Closures
Details
Each year, the USFS monitors for raptor nesting.
A pair of golden eagles regularly nest on Bridge Creek Wall. When in effect, starting January 1, PLEASE DO NOT CLIMB or travel within 1/2 mile of Bridge Creek Wall. As a reference, the climb Condorphamine Addiction is just outside of this 1/2 mile buffer, and is OK to climb still. The closure extends through August 15, but there is active monitoring to determine if the seasonal closure can be lifted earlier.
In 2014, there was an active pair of peregrine falcons at Snow Creek Wall, but no official closure was put in effect due to the location of the falcons. The site will be continually monitored with changes or removal of closures updated as necessary.

Description
Pretty sunny with not too much traffic. Good place to go to get away from the Mad Meadows and Forestlands crowds.
Getting There
Park about 7.6 miles up Icicle Creek just after the road has cut through some rock. Hike up the steep-ish hillside to the main area. After about 10 minutes the trail will split and there will be a sign for "Secret Dome". Follow the trail to the left from here and the boulders should be visible pretty quickly. There are a couple climbs nearer to the road as well.
