CAMAZONIA Posted March 7, 2002 Posted March 7, 2002 I heard the bridge has been taken down. Was just wandering what the access for the columns was now and if there was a Raptor closure. Has anyone got up to date beta??? Quote
Dave_Schuldt Posted March 7, 2002 Posted March 7, 2002 I was there in last summer. the bridge accross from the wildlife office to royal columns was trashed. the bridge at the bend iwas still there. upriver i saw abridge near moon rocks i saw this third bridge about 5 years ago. Quote
Charlie Posted March 7, 2002 Posted March 7, 2002 I was there last week- royal columns and the bend were closed due to golden eagle nesting Quote

CAMAZONIA Posted March 7, 2002 Author Posted March 7, 2002 Erik Everyone likes a little ass but no one likes a smart ass. I was thinking I might be missing a better access, but I see the sharks smelled blood and went in for the kill. Quote
tasmith513 Posted March 7, 2002 Posted March 7, 2002 As I understand, a tyrolean cable has been installed in the place of the old bridge at the Columns. The Columns and the Bend both opened up the week after Easter Sunday last year, but I'm sure it varies season to season. Moonrocks should be open year round. Quote
CAMAZONIA Posted March 7, 2002 Author Posted March 7, 2002 Thanks Tas now thats good beta. I'm takeing my pullys this could be fun. When the raptor closeure is off please post and I will be on my way. Anyone know where or who to call, I have tryed oak creek F&W , could'nt get through or no one knew about the raptor closure [ 03-08-2002: Message edited by: CAMAZONIA ] Quote
CAMAZONIA Posted March 8, 2002 Author Posted March 8, 2002 What about the bridge I heard it's gone and possiably there is a cable for a tyrolean traverses if not I wonder if they would let me install one. In the past they have opened up the area for climbing early if there are no raptors nesting on the cliffs. Quote
erik Posted March 8, 2002 Posted March 8, 2002 yes cam, the brisdge is gone and has been since the fall.... i heard a rumor of a cable being up, but bring your bike instead and peddle the mile of so.....i would believe that a cable might cause more harm due to the looky lu's driving on hwy12..... now as plans to contruct another bridge i have heard both sides, yes and no.....so i dont know....though you would think maybe thats where some of our parking permit money would go....to improve the facilites.....i doubt it though those 1999 chevy trucks the fish and game are driving around are getting wore out, probably time to buy news ones....

CAMAZONIA Posted March 8, 2002 Author Posted March 8, 2002 Ok erik I don't understand the bike thing, Like from where to where .Getting a bike around the Z fence and accross the cable bridge from the Q hut to the bend might be a little diff a cult. Quote
erik Posted March 8, 2002 Posted March 8, 2002 in that case cam, you are better off staying home. Quote
rbw1966 Posted March 8, 2002 Posted March 8, 2002 You're kidding right? You can't get a bike across that footbridge west of the bridge that was destroyed? If my arthritic, 11 year old golden retriever can make it across you should have no trouble making it with a bike. I'd recommend carrying it on your shoulder rather than riding it though. Rumor has it the water is pretty cold. That's a great climbing area. Thanks to my friend Larry for showing me around there. Quote
