Eldorado Canyon Climbing Closures

A seasonal wildlife closure is in effect on Redgarden Wall from the Naked Edge (pitch 3 – top) through Sidetrack in order to protect nesting and roosting sites of the canyon’s falcons. The closure lasts through July 31st or until further notice and includes the following climbing routes: The Naked Edge (last 3 pitches only), The Diving Board, Centaur, Redguard (last 3 pitches only), Red Ant, Semi-Wild, Anthill Direct (last 3 pitches only), and The Sidetrack.

You can help us protect Eldo’s Falcons

The walls of Eldorado Canyon provide critical breeding habitat for birds of prey, such as our nesting pair of prairie falcons. Human disturbances (such as climbing) near the nest can cause abandonment and nest failure. As human actions and breeding and prey habitat loss continue to impact prairie falcon populations, it is even more essential that visitors to their homes respect these temporary restrictions. If you would like to view the nest with a ranger or a volunteer raptor monitor, please contact the park at (303) 494-3943.

Thank you for helping protect Eldorado Canyon’s wildlife!

The raptors were yellin at us from high above last weekend, thought it was cool as all get-out.

Yes, all routes on Mickey Mouse are closed. See the following Boulder Open Space document to verify.

Information on nation wide closures of all types can generally be noted here.
