Climbing Routes Temporarily Closed In Joshua Tree National Park

Share

Nesting raptors have led to a temporary closure of some climbing routes in Joshua Tree National Park in California.

The routes affected by this closure include: Patagonia Pile-(East and West Faces), The Head, Labor Dome and Wall of Biblical Fallacies. Bouldering routes in the closure area include: Iron Door Cave, Voices, Tidal Wave, Tilt-O-Meter, Lizzy, Dino’s Egg, and Chuckwalla bouldering area.

This climbing area is approximately 380 meters northwest from the Hidden Valley Campground Loop. The Prairie Falcon pair is exhibiting nesting behavior, and this area will remain closed until the nest has been abandoned to ensure the protection of the species for the duration of the nesting activities.

The park does not anticipate the closure will last beyond June 30.
