Closures effective as of the day after Martin Luther King Day- July 3. Check closure website for details on closed areas.
SPECIAL NOTICE: Condors have been establishing nests at the Pinnacles National Monument. Since condors develop to fledgling more slowly than raptors and vultures closures due to condor nesting is extended past the usual Martin Luther King Day to July 3rd. Again, please check the "Current Raptor Advisory" section of the NPS website and/or the Friends of Pinnacles website for current closures.
As of July 2024 there are three active Condor nests at Pinnacles National Park.
The Machete Ridge area is closed from Pigeon Crack on west face then west around the south side to The Hideout including the popular Old Original.
All climbing routes at Crowley Towers are closed.
All routes on the Yaks and Yaks Wall plus Marauder.
Description
Crowley Towers describes a series of five pinnacles, called towers, which are on a ridge above and to the north of the Balconies. It contains a number of short, moderate routes.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: in 2024 a pair of condors are nesting at CrowleyTowers so the entire area is closed until further notice. More information is located here:
Getting There
The easiest way to get to the Crowley Towers is to park on the West side and head toward the Balconies. Follow the Balconies Trail up passing the Flumes Formation on the left. At the top of the Flumes Formation where the Balconies Trail makes a sharp right turn find a climbers trail heading west up to the actual top of the backside of the Flumes Formation. From there follow a faint climbers trail up and north through a brush covered hillside towered the towers. Careful route finding can provide a brush free approach.
