Is Palace accessible now in Poudre Canyon or is water too high? Much thanks.

The Palace crossing isn't wadeable until it is below 2 ft on the rock guage. At 2 feet, the crossing is deep and fast, but feasible if you know where to go and have a wading staff; 1.75ft or lower is better.

Here's a link to the streamflows:

Poudre Rock Report

Check out the free downloadable guidebook on the NC3 site if you have more questions about Poudre wading levels or other approach logisitics. Full color, detailed beta to the Palace (and other areas that are climbable at high water) is available for free.

Poudre Canyon Select Guide

There will be a printed guide coming out soon that will include all the routes & bouldering in the canyon. Be sure to check that out as well.

Good luck and happy wading when the water comes down a bit.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
