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.

Access Issue: Private Property Details

The trailhead to some of these climbs are the CSU Mountain Campus. While some climbs are outside of the Campus (i.e. Emmaline Lake) the closest way to access them is through the campus. It is best to park outside of the campus gate at the Stormy Peaks Trailhead.

Description

This is accessible from the Mountain Campus for CSU. Expect it to be crowded, and expect to park outside of the gates of the campus at the Stormy Peaks Trailhead. This is the closest way to approach the Emmaline Cirque. The other way to access is via Tom Bennett Campground or Sky Ranch. Expect to add 1.5 miles if approached this way.
