Some climbing areas in Boulder County national forest land along Boulder Canyon Drive will be closed into the summer to protect nesting raptors.
Between Feb. 1 and Aug. 1, people will not be allowed in parts of forest land in the Boulder Ranger District, including areas around the 34-mile mark of Boulder Canyon Drive, according to a National Forest Service release. The areas will be closed in the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests to protect nesting raptors and people by preventing visitors from disturbing nesting birds of prey, the release states.
