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

Juno Tower is on Vasiliki Ridge, north of the prominent notch, Burgundy Col. As viewed from the west, not too inspiring, but the east side holds one of the gems of the North Cascades, Clean Break.

Getting There

There are two ways to get there, park at the wine spires pullout just under 4 miles east of Washington Pass and head up the steep trail. Or park at Silver Star creek, 8.5 miles past the pass, and take the nice climbers trail up the east side of the drainage, cross it at 5000' and start the rising, chill bushwhack traverse.
