It's open for the season until the annual seasonal closure resumes on February 1, 2013. Enjoy this spectacular canyon.

The annual canyon closure occurred today; thanks to those who have already disabled their caches. As usual, it'll open on August 31 (or maybe sooner, if BLM biologists deem it ready).

Been trying to log in to respond, but met with 'too many log in attempts' fun.

The canyon closes again on Tuesday, February 1, 2011. Grab them while you can. Thanks to cache owners for disabling, as appropriate.

The canyon is open for the 2010-2011 season to non-motorized use. Enable your caches and enjoy. It'll close again on February 1, 2011. Goat/unusual observation reports welcome

As of today, the canyon is now closed to allow the critters to peaceably rear their young. It will likely re-open in July but could be as late as August 31, 2010.

Thank you cache owners for temporarily disabling your caches in the canyon. It is much appreciated.

Gavin @ BLM

It's open again.

The annual seasonal wildlife closure is now lifted and the canyon is now open again for non-motorized use. The closure will be emplaced again on February 1, 2009, so enjoy!

We've put a few internal signs in the Badlands, but only concentrated around the Flatiron Rock and Badlands Rock trails so far. We've also put some external directional signs in over the last 6 months with a few more of these to come, especially along highway 20.

PMOGUY is right hiking east to west is a good way to go. I'd also add that if you do leave a rig on the east end, that you park off of the state highway right-of-way. You can park at the BLM kiosk on Evans Well Road and Hwy 20 and carefully cross the highway. Few actually do the speed limit here.

Thanks for the invite; I've got a conflict this time but would like to meet you all at the next event.

Cheers,

'Tis the season.

Only a couple of weeks until the annual closure resumes on Feb. 1, 2008, so get your yayas out while you can.

Cheers,

logscaler... sort of off topic, but, I'm told the online BLM interactive maps you're seeking are forthcoming in the next few months. When it is posted, it may likely be accessible through here:

Wish it would be sooner, too...
