Access Issue: 2025 ACCESS ALERT!: Nesting Raptors - GOLDEN EAGLE Avoidance Areas. Details

Access Alert: 2024 GOLDEN EAGLE AVOIDANCE AREA

-2024 Golden Eagle Avoidance Areas: The Early Bird Crag, The Frontera, The Undertaker Wall, The Sushi Bar, The Great Chasm

Each spring Golden Eagles return to Maple Canyon for nesting. Eagles, falcons, hawks, and other migratory birds use shallow depressions on ledges, cliffs and rock walls to build nests, often returning to the same site year after year to raise their young. The United States Forest Service (USFS) requests that visitors and recreationists avoid these areas during critical nesting periods which typically start in early March and last through late August. Avoiding recreational activity in the vicinity of the nest sites along and maintaining a safe viewing distance will help ensure survival of young birds.

Golden Eagles are protected by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service under authority of the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. A conviction of nest disturbance can carry a fine to $5,000 & one year imprisonment.

Description

The Bridge Area may not get many points for naming originality but it has some fun routes. There are several routes (.11s) on the wall before the bridge; after the bridge are more .11s, one or two .10s and a 9.

The walls are mostly north-facing and so have shade for much of the day.

Getting There

Located on the left side of the road before and after the bridge (left when heading up canyon, that is). There is a campsite just past the bridge on the left side; parking may be found in small pullouts on the right side.
