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.
Previous years: per Dustin Bergman, CO State Parks Officer #770, ECSP:
Seasonal Raptor Closures
Check Park site for current closures:

Double check prior to venturing there. Thanks!
Description
Evening Stroll is a fairly good but apparently overlooked route. This climb deserves more traffic than it gets and is really quite a lot of fun until the chossy ledge you top out on on the traditional finish of Auburn Lane.
Location
This route starts as for Moonlight Drive and finished as per Auburn Court. Between the two lies a crux and some pretty good climbing.
While I'd like to give a better description than the book, Levin makes this difficult. He simply states that one starts as for Moonlight Drive, but atop the flake (15-20' runout), one must traverse right to join Auburn Lane or Auburn Court. I recommend the latter of those two if you already have grade-ware.
