Trail Updates in Rocky Mountain National Park

Rocky Mountain National Park has posted a couple of trail updates in recent days. They include:
The Sprague Lake Boardwalk Replacement project in Rocky Mountain National Park is complete and the Sprague Lake Loop Trail has reopened to all users.

Rocky's Trail Crew has been hard at work since July 31 replacing 230-linear feet of the old boardwalk. Trail improvements include constructing a new steel frame, laying down new boards, and widening the boardwalk to improve accessibility for visitors who use wheelchairs and strollers. This project has also improved two scenic viewing platforms.
And this:
To celebrate National Public Lands Day, on September 23, Rocky Mountain National Park joined with the Rocky Mountain Conservancy and other local partners to facilitate three different volunteer projects within the park. Volunteer projects were held on both the west and east sides of Rocky.

40 people participated in one of three projects in Rocky Mountain National Park. Volunteers joined park staff to complete trail maintenance projects on the Green Mountain and Longs Peak trails. At Bear Lake, a team of volunteers picked up 63 pounds of trash from the parking area and surrounding trails. Thank you to all of the volunteers who came out to join us last Saturday!
