Ben Edwards developed a small area about a mile from the hairpin turn just beyond the pullout, halfway between the road and Bighorn Mountain, for those looking for some further adventure. Season: Good days can be had here in the fall and possibly the winter, if snowfall is light. Summer will be very warm but climbable. Crisp conditions can be found in March and April as well, but spring brings the threat of ticks in the scrubland. It’s worth noting that there has also been evidence of mountains lions in this area. From the intersection of Hwy 34 and Hwy 36, head north on Hwy 34 for 5 miles to the Hwy 34 Entrance to RMNP. Continue 0.2 mile to a small dirt pull-out on the right, or a large paved pull-out on the left. Park here. Hike up the hill 0.2 mile, trending left, towards an obvious overhanging boulder. There is no trail to Birdland, and the hillside is steep, gaining 300 ft in elevation in only 0.2 mile. The boulder faces northeast.
