CCC Raptor Nesting Closure 2 (E of Tunnel 2). In 2016, the closure WAS lifted June 9 for ONLY the 2016 season, per Eric Krause, JeffCo OS Ranger. Photo reconfiguration: Ron Keller.

The two areas Jefferson County Open Space intends to close in Clear Creek Canyon, shown on the attached maps, encompass the active eagle nests. If the Clear Creek eagles continue to nest in the active nests, these areas will remain closed from February 1 through July 31. If the eagles choose different nesting sites, the closures will be adjusted accordingly to protect those eagles during their breeding season.

Currently, rock climbing areas that fall inside of the seasonal raptor closures include:

Blonde Formation
Bumbling Stock
Evil Area
Ghost Crag
Highlander
Skinny Legs
Stumbling Block
Tetanus Garden
Fault Caves

Vehicles that remain in the closure will be towed at owners expense.

Description

The Witch House is a small crag above Crystal Tower near Tunnel 6.

Two routes here have been red tagged by the developers. Please respect the red tags and do not climb them.

*The trail is currently being established, and there is a lot of loose rock. Please use extreme caution or avoid this area until the trail and crag are developed.*

Getting There

Park at the Primo Wall/Nomad's Cave parking area. Take the trail down stream to the tyrolean between East Colfax and The Armory. After crossing the tyrolean, head up the gully between The Armory and Crystal Tower.
