Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Closure at Newhalem Crags March 1st to mid-July
Details
Peregrine falcons select nest sites on cliffs in the Upper Skagit Valley, including the Climbing Management Areas of Newhalem West (Ryan’s Wall) and Newhalem East. As required in the NPS Superintendent’s Compendium, these areas will be closed to all public from March 1st to July 15th of each year, or until the young falcons have fledged or NPS staff have determined that nesting will not occur on a specific wall during this period. Access Fund, Washington Climbers Coalition and NPS partner on a volunteer raptor monitoring program to determine nesting activity. Contact the NPS and/or WCC for updates.
Description
The devoted will make the pilgrimage to the hallowed Kangaroo Temple. This is a striking peak that is not visited as often as other rock spires in the Washington Pass area, but the call of holy marsupial adventure beckons. Rock quality varies, route finding is challenging, and there are some sections where a fall would ruin your day. Only those willing to make offerings to the shining wallaby will be allowed to reach the summit. Praise be to the Kangaroo.
