Day use only and no campfires in the Forestland/Barney's Rubble parking area and vicinity.
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.

Getting There
From the Forestlands parking lot follow the main trail through the woods until you see a faint path heading uphill near the stream crossing. Take this trail uphill and Monarch should be the first nice boulder you come across. You can also approach this boulder from the Ruminator/Coffee Cup area, but it's easy to get lost.
