Access Issue: 2024 Seasonal Raptor Closures
Details
From the Canyon Lakes Ranger District Forest Service:
Fort Collins, Colo. (March 7, 2024) – to protect nesting birds of prey, the U.S. Forest Service is implementing annual area closures in several popular recreation areas throughout the Canyon Lakes Ranger District. The closures include Triple Tier, south of CO Highway 14; Boston Peak, north of CO Highway 14; Grazing Allotment Crag, northwest of Prairie Divide Road; and Mt. Olympus, southeast of US Highway 34. See the closure map for more details. Effective through July 31, 2024, the closures protect established raptor territories to ensure the birds remain undisturbed during sensitive breeding and nesting seasons.
The Canyon Lakes Ranger District partners with Colorado Parks & Wildlife and the Northern Colorado Climbers Coalition to monitor nesting progress and to inform climbers about the importance of giving raptors space to raise their young.
Federal and state laws prohibit disturbing any nesting bird of prey. Visitors can help protect wildlife by respecting all closures. Signs will be posted at key access points into the closed areas. Additional closure information is available online.

Description
Across the river from the Poudre Fish Hatchery lie several nice boulders with good polished granite. While the boulders are limited, the area does hold some very nice climbs in the V4-8 range.
Getting There
Park at the large pulloff on the left side of the road just before the fish hatchery (the same parking as for bloc 1). Walk to the left of the green gate, then follow the 4x4 tracks down into the meadow. Once you see the old cabin, turn right towards the river. Cross the river by the large, overturned root system and continue past into the next meadow. Cross and go through the thick forested section, veering slightly right. From there, follow the cairn trail to the boulders.
