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 most popular area of the 420 boulders, most likely because it is the closest to the road. The climbs are few on this boulder, but Sheniqua herself is worth the short hike. The boulder gets some direct sun, so its a great destination for chilly days.

Getting There

Park on the riverside of the road 8.1 miles from Icicle Junction as you would for Angelina Jolie. The trail is just on the other side of the road. Follow the trail ~50m or so past the first cluster of boulders (Angelina Jolie), and you'll encounter a small ridge with a big fallen tree blocking the direct path. Turn either left or right to go around it (doesn't matter), and the trails will reconnect. Walk up and right, just past the big dirty slab, and eventually you'll crest the hill. Go straight, walking down canyon ~20m or so, and you'll come to face the 420 Boulders. The hike should take 5 minutes or a little longer.
