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
The Mighty Mouse area is the furthest developed granite area up the Icicle Canyon at this time. Beautiful setting on the river!
Getting There
Mighty Mouse is 10.5 miles from Icicle Junction (by the 76 gas station and the mini-golf course on the west side of town), just below a gated dirt drive on the left. The brown roadside mile markers in Icicle Canyon aren't 100% accurate but can help you measure this distance and get your bearings straight.
Park near the gate and follow the faint trail just up the road towards, and over, a riverside dome of rock. Mighty Mouse climbs the upstream side of the overhanging dome.
