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

A large collection of boulders located in the Skagit Valley East of Sedro Woolley. The area has seen limited development. The boulders are located on a secluded forested slope. The landings can be hazardous so bring a few crash pads.

Getting There

Head East from Hwy 9 on the S. Skagit Hwy past the small town of Day Creek. After a few miles (near mile marker 11) veer right and up an incline onto a prominent logging road that runs parallel to the highway. From this point it takes about 30 minutes along the gravel/dirt road to reach the boulders. Follow the main logging road east to a 90 degree switch back and head to the west. Follow the main road, always staying to the right at major forks. After you pass cliffs on the right you will come to road that heads to the right. Park at the pull-out and walk 5 minutes to the boulders. If you pass a pond on the right you have gone too far.
