Rocky Mountain National Park reminds visitors about Timed Entry Permits

Rocky Mountain National Park posted this on their social media last week:

Planning to visit Rocky Mountain National Park between May 26 and October 22?

Remember to reserve a timed entry permit through www.recreation.gov or by using the Recreation.gov mobile app. Reservations can be made for the dates of May 26 - June 30, 2023 beginning May 1 at 8 a.m. MDT. Rolling windows for future months begin on June 1.

The reservation permit system is similar to that used in 2021 and 2022, with two types of reservations available: a 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 or 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀+ Timed Entry Permit. The reservation system will apply to all areas of the park and reservations can only be made through Recreation.gov. Reservations are available in 2-hour windows of time. Reservation holders must enter the park during their specified time.

𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 Timed Entry Permits are great for visitors planning to drive over Trail Ridge Road, explore the west side of the park, hike at Wild Basin, or visit any area of the park located outside of the Bear Lake Road Corridor. These timed entry permits will be required to enter the park anytime between 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. MDT.

𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀+ Timed Entry Permits are best for visitors planning to visit Bear Lake, Moraine Park, Glacier Gorge and all areas within the Bear Lake Road Corridor, as well as all other areas of RMNP. These entry permits will be required to enter the Bear Lake Road Corridor between the hours of 5 a.m. to 6 p.m. MDT.

Park Access+ Timed Entry reservation holders must plan to enter the Bear Lake Road Corridor during their specified 2-hour window of time. Planning to enter the Bear Lake Road Corridor in the morning, then leave and come back in the afternoon? Re-entry to the Bear Lake Road Corridor is allowed with a valid Park Access+ Timed Entry reservation after 2 p.m.
