PARKING

Updated 4/18/17: In the last couple weeks, "No Parking" signs have appeared at the parking area for the Fridge boulder and Sam Hill climbing area. We are working with the property owner of that pullout, the Leavenworth Fish Hatchery, to resolve the issue. The Hatchery uses the pullout daily when accessing the nearby dam. As we come to a solution very soon that ensures parking availability for climbers and hikers, please respect the signs.
