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

Chianti is the second northern-most of the wine spires, a group of four granite pinnacles along the north ridge of Silver Star.

Getting There

From a small pullout ~2 miles east of the hairpin turn on hwy 20, descend to the creek over talus and rock, then pick up a climber's trail which switchbacks up to Burgundy Col.
