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

Buckner Mountain is the highest point of Skagit County. It lies due East of Boston Peak and has a commanding view to the Northwest of Boston Glacier, to the South of Horseshoe Basin, and to the West along Ripsaw Ridge.

Getting There

Buckner is approached either from the Southwest via the Sahale Arm or, for the more technical North Face route, is approached via the Boston Glacier, which has a number of approach options.
