Beginning Feb. 1st each year, a seasonal wildlife closure will be in effect on Redgarden Wall in Eldorado Canyon State Park to protect nesting and roosting sites of the canyons falcons. The closure is in effect through July 31st unless lifted early due to early fledging or inactivity.

Crags on Eldorado Mountain, such as Mickey Mouse wall and Cryptic Crags, are outside of park boundaries and may still be subject to Boulder County closures.
Previously in 2023: per M. McHugh, ECSP: the upper loop of the Rattlesnake Gulch Trail, above the Crags Hotel Ruin, & the
Continental Divide Overlook, is closed effective immediately. This included Continental Crag.
These areas are closed to all activities, including rock climbing & hiking, through 7/15 or until further notice, to protect nesting golden eagles on the S side of the canyon.
Golden Eagles are protected by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service under authority of the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. A conviction of nest disturbance can carry a fine to $5,000 & one year imprisonment.
See the map in the photo section for terrain closure.

Description
Day Dream is probably best left as a toprope, as the crux is not really protected and the rock is poor. Toprope after climbing Shadow or Flower Quarter, or traverse on to this ledge from the climber's trail just below Rewritten. This line is easy to pick out by locating a piton with grey webbing hanging off of it just above the roof.
Pick a variety of starts: choose from a slab just above the wooden staircase, or a short steep dihedral uphill and left of the slab. Gain another huge ledge about 20 feet up. From here, climb loose face with a lot of lichen up to a large 5 foot roof. Pull the roof with sidepulls (they feel loose) up to big jugs at a point just below the mentioned piton. Continue up fun, clean face with hueco-like jugs to a small tree, then finish up to the ledge.
Belay from a big tree. Walk off left from here.
