Access Issue: RAIN, WET ROCK and RAPTOR CLOSURES: The sandstone around Moab is fragile and is very easily damaged when it is wet. Also please ask and be aware of Raptor Closures in areas such as CAT WALL and RESERVOIR WALL in Indian Creek
Details
WET ROCK: Holds rip off and climbs have been and will continue to be permanently damaged due to climbers not respecting this phenomenon. After a heavy storm the rock will remain wet, sometimes for several days. PLEASE DO NOT CLIMB IN MOAB during or after rain.
RAPTOR CLOSURES: please be aware of seasonal raptor closures. They occur annually in the spring.

Description
This area is the main cluster of boulders coming into UT from Gateway Canyon Resort. The boulders lie 1.6 miles past the UT/CO border gate and are located both on the left side of the Dolores River and in the river.
Getting There
From Gateway, Colorado, turn into the Gateway Canyon Resort. Drive through the parking lots, behind the resort until you get to a dirt road. This is 4.1 road. Take a right onto 4.1 road. You will be on the left side of the Dolores River. Go until you get to the state line, which in this case is a large gate. Move through the gate into Utah and drive 1.6 miles (according to Google Maps). There is a pull off in a cluster of boulders. There are boulders prior to the pull as well and up through the wash.
