Popular Hudson Valley Climbing Spot Re-opens after Falcon Closure
This week the Mohonk Preserve announced that they have re-opened trails that had been closed earlier this year to protect Peregrine Falcon. I reported on the original closure back in March.
Earlier this week the Mohonk Preserve announced on their Facebook page that they had re-opened trails that had previously been closed to climbers to ensure that the Peregrine Falcons would not be disturbed while nesting and caring for their young.
In the statement they said that the temporary climbing restrictions had been lifted as of July 10th 2021. The areas included the Trapps, Millbrook and the Bonitcou areas of the ridge. These areas are now open and accessible to climbers again.
