Access Issue: 2024 Seasonal Raptor Closures
Details
From the Canyon Lakes Ranger District Forest Service:
Fort Collins, Colo. (March 7, 2024) – to protect nesting birds of prey, the U.S. Forest Service is implementing annual area closures in several popular recreation areas throughout the Canyon Lakes Ranger District. The closures include Triple Tier, south of CO Highway 14; Boston Peak, north of CO Highway 14; Grazing Allotment Crag, northwest of Prairie Divide Road; and Mt. Olympus, southeast of US Highway 34. See the closure map for more details. Effective through July 31, 2024, the closures protect established raptor territories to ensure the birds remain undisturbed during sensitive breeding and nesting seasons.
The Canyon Lakes Ranger District partners with Colorado Parks & Wildlife and the Northern Colorado Climbers Coalition to monitor nesting progress and to inform climbers about the importance of giving raptors space to raise their young.
Federal and state laws prohibit disturbing any nesting bird of prey. Visitors can help protect wildlife by respecting all closures. Signs will be posted at key access points into the closed areas. Additional closure information is available online.

Getting There
This area is located on the south side of the canyon between the 420s and Merlin. Park at the large pulloff on the north side of the road just before mile marker 80.
Walk slightly down canyon until you see an intersection of two fences with a "No Hunting" sign. Cross the fence on the left side of this intersection, and walk across the field toward the river, avoiding a small sliver of private property. Once reaching the river, walk upstream until you reach a fork in the river. Cross just past the beginning of the fork, and walk into the forest, where you'll find a few boulders with several quality lines including The Black Problem and Occam's Razor.
