Access Issue: 2024 Seasonal Raptor Closure Details

A limited number of crags on the west side of Lake Koocanusa are closed through August 31, 2024 to protect Peregrine Falcon habitat. These include:

- Pit Stop
- the Ruins
- Hidden Buttresss
- Great White
- Dawn Walls
- Don Juan
- Sunburst
- Naked Cliff
- Dihedral Wall
- Science Lab

All other crags are unaffected by the closure, which you can find here: fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DO…

Description

Highway climbing at its best for NW Montana, the most popular crag at Stone Hill, roadside access (bumper belays anyone?) and complete with a pit toilet!

Getting There

Drive south from Eureka on Hwy 37 to the Koocanusa Bridge. From there go another 3-ish miles until you're at the obvious roadside crag.
