Following recent storms, there is fresh snow on most trails in Rocky. Before heading out on any backcountry trip, make sure that everyone in your group is avalanche aware. Avalanche danger remains "considerable" throughout Rocky Mountain National Park.
Travel across and under steep slopes is not advised unless all members of your party have rescue equipment, education and experience to make informed decisions about traveling in avalanche terrain. An avalanche can be triggered by skiers, snowshoers, and even wildlife.
To see the latest avalanche forecast and additional safety information, visit the Colorado Avalanche Information Center's webpage at https://avalanche.state.co.us/.
