Maverick Buttress Closure - Long Canyon
|
Is it true that Maverick is closed from 4/1 to 8/15? |
|
Not sure. I've never heard about that before. I bet Sam Lightner Jr knows... |
|
"Seasonal closures are in effect annually in Long Canyon and at Chimney Rock to prevent disturbance of nesting and fledging raptors from March 1st August 31st" |

Good thing Maverick isn't in Grand Staircase Natl. Monument. JLH wrote:Is it true that Maverick is closed from 4/1 to 8/15?No. |

Though.. While on the topic. |

OP might want to change the misleading thread title. |

per an email response from BLM |

Thanks for posting, JLH. Good to know about the lambing season. |
|
The original issue was spawned by a sign where the trail meets the road. Sign indicates "No permitted climbing activities from April 1st-August 15th. |
|
I didn't know about the sign. I've never heard of the BLM shutting down Longs for wildlife hence my question. I deleted my post. Thanks for clarifying. |

MIYG it's all good. Sign is fairly new. |
