Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Closure
Details
In effect yearly from April 1- Sept. 30! Peregrine Falcons nest seasonally at Lover's Leap. During the closure period, please avoid the areas displayed on the map posted below. A closure is in place at the center of the wall starting April 1 to September 30. A detailed listing of closed routes and any changes in the information regarding the peregrine falcons will be posted on the Eldorado National Forest website fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DO…
If you require addition information contact the Eldorado National Forest at 530-622-5061.
Here's a map from 2009, but the same route closures generally apply every year (true through 2019 according to the latest order).

Access Issue: Stay off Private Property
Details
The approach trail skirts the backyards of a few houses with no fences. When in doubt, stay more on the uphill side.
Description
Instead of multi-pitch moderates, The Box is concentrated with short, hard climbs.
Getting There
From the parking lot head southwest under the power lines. You'll soon notice houses on your right - be sure to stay far left and away from backyards.
-There are tags on the trees but I'm not sure if this is to indicate property boundaries or something else.
After passing a few backyards on your right, follow the steep trail uphill, away from the houses. Pass under the first set of cliffs and up/right you'll see a notch that separates the two tiers of The Box. Scramble up this notch and walk along the ledge to the base.
Approach ~20 minutes.
