Just incase you don't know already,
government shutdown, all national parks closed.

Rather than seeing repeated topics on the same thing, I'd like to start a thread on the places we CAN climb. Please contribute what you can so we can make the best of this situation.

I'll try to organize this list as time goes on.

Parts of Red Rocks will remail open.

Copied off Mountain Project.

"Greetings Red Rock Canyon Climbers/Visitors,

Your visit to Red Rock may be affected by the current Government Shutdown. Our latest Red Rock/Sloan Field Office staff meeting indicated the following areas will be closed to the general public and permitted operations:

13 Mile Scenic Byway
Campground (vacated within 48 hours)
Red Springs Picnic Area
159 Overlook

However, you may visit other areas of Red Rock Canyon NCA that have not been closed. This includes locations such as Black Velvet Canyon, First Creek via 159, Old Oak Creek via 159, Kraft Mountain, etc.

Most of the Red Rock / Sloan Field Office will be furloughed before noon today. Exceptions to the furlough include law enforcement officers (LEOs).

Below is a link to the Government Shutdown contingency plan for the BLM. www.doi.gov/shutdown/fy2014/upload/BLM-Contingency-Plan.pdf"

That map is missing a lot of areas since it only shows the National Parks but not all the other areas that are administered and run by the National Park Service.

Donner, Dinosaur Rock, most of Tahoe I bet, Indian Springs, Bowman Lake, Pig Rock, Emeralds, Washoe Boulders.
Hey... those aren't national parks. Oops.
Who woulda thought there could be life outside the federal gubmint?

Recall elections anyone? Or would that just lead to more of the same?

The majority of the Alabama Hills is BLM, although they seem to have some contingency plan where some areas are open just not providing any emergency services. Alabama Hills may fall under the "a non- developed recreational destination with no controlled access" status. http://www.doi.gov/shutdown/fy2014/upload/BLM-FAQ.pdf

Limited areas in the hills are LADWP and wouldn't be effected.

This is a good thing. Get climbers out exploring new climbing areas to develop.

Are National Forests closed to the public during the government shutdown? Meaning, are we technically not allowed to go into those areas during the shutdown? Or, are we physically prevented from entering them? Are there gates on National Forest roads that are being closed and padlocked right now?
