The footbridge will be closed for replacement from August 14 - September 23, 2023
The old bridge was built nearly 50 years ago and reconstructed about 30 years ago. The new bridge will measure 8 feet wide, about 2 feet wider than the current bridge, and better accommodate visitors and first responders during the park’s frequent rescue operations. There will be no temporary bridge, and Oregon Parks and Recreation Department discourages wading across the river due to sensitive habitat and safety concerns.
Trails that will stay open include:
Rim Rock Trail
Homestead Trail
Rope-de-Dope Trail
Canyon Trail
North Point loop
Climbing areas accessible during construction include:
North Point area (accessible from the Homestead and North Point loop trails)
Rope-de-Dope boulder (accessible from the Rope-de-Dope trail and Canyon Trail)
The Lower Gorge (Climber Access routes)
There are many seasonal raptor closures with varying dates and specific boundaries. These generally effect The Monument, Kiss of the Lepers, Picnic Lunch Wall and/or Smith Rock group, and possibly elsewhere. These usually run from February to the beginning of August, but each closure is usually shorter than this, and is dependent on the birds' behavior.

Description
Man's Best Friend takes an alternate route after the crux of the third pitch of Adventure Dog. From the belay of the third pitch, look up at the daunting roof systems and get ready to tackle them head on! After the fourth bolt, continue straight to the apex of the roof and get ready for a short lived 11+ crux on perfect welded tough. After clearing the 2nd roof, head straight left to link back into Adventure Dog. Climb 5.5 climbing to the adventure dog anchors and choose to lower to the anchors below or top out.
For more information on the starting pitches, refer to Adventure Dog on mountain project.
