FORT COLLINS, Colo. (Feb. 3, 2025) – To protect nesting birds of prey, the Roosevelt National Forest began implementing annual closures in several popular recreation areas within the Canyon Lakes and Boulder Ranger Districts on Feb 1, 2025.
On the Canyon Lakes Ranger District, the closure areas include Triple Tier, south of CO Highway 14; Boston Peak, north of CO Highway 14; Grazing Allotment Crag, northwest of Prairie Divide Road; and Mt. Olympus, southeast of US Highway 34. See the closure map for more details.
The Roosevelt National Forest works closely with partners like Colorado Parks and Wildlife, Boulder Climbing Community and the Northern Colorado Climbers Coalition to monitor nesting progress and inform climbers about the importance of giving raptors space to raise their young.
Federal and state laws prohibit disturbing any nesting bird of prey. Visitors can help protect wildlife by respecting all closures. Signs will be posted at key access points into the closed areas. Additional closure information is available online.

Description
White Stripe Boulder is a large boulder standing at the top of a plateau. It can be identified by a large, vertical, white stripe near the left side of the face when hiking towards it from below. The boulder hosts several moderate problems and a difficult face climb.
Getting There
Follow the trail uphill trending right (you may find some cairns). The trail can be identified by stretches of silty dark soil and should require notably less scrambling than if you're off trail. The White Stripe Boulder should be visible on your left hand side, and a fork in the trail should take you to some easy scrambling to its base.
