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

The higher of the two Twin Sisters and the high point of the subrange, South Twin seems to be somewhat less often climbed than North Twin.

There are numerous routes, most of which are scrambles.

Getting There

There are a number of approaches, the most common for the West Ridge is via Middle Fork Road, which should be followed until a a turn-off that leads immediately to a gated bridge. From here logging roads can be walked/biked/skied, to the "trailhead." Bringing a map would be highly advisable.
