ELDORADO SPRINGS, Colo. —Eldorado Canyon State Park has reopened Shirttail Peak to all uses, including rock climbing, due to movement by the golden eagles in the area. The Park has now partially closed the Rattlesnake trail to all activity through July 15 or until further notice to protect the nesting golden eagles.

Golden Eagles are protected by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service under authority of the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. A conviction of nest disturbance can carry a fine up to $5,000 and one year imprisonment.
