Essential crag checks
Access, closures, permits & safety
Most climbing approaches begin at the day-use parking area, descend into the Crooked River canyon and cross the footbridge. Return climbs can be steep and hot, so allow time and water for the ascent back to the rim.
A day-use parking permit is required for vehicles and is purchased for the current posted rate. Use marked spaces and overflow instructions; roadside parking outside designated areas may be restricted.
check_current_access
Some climbing areas and routes are seasonally closed or restricted, commonly from mid-January into summer, to protect nesting golden eagles and falcons. Check the current park advisory and posted signs. The canyon can be very hot, and loose rock is possible.
Closures and permit rules can change without notice. Recheck the official land manager before departure.
