Trail Ridge Road, which is Hwy 34 through the park, is OPEN for essential travel only. Trail Ridge Road will remain open as long as weather and road conditions permit. Trail Ridge Road is wet with low visibility. If traveling on Trail Ridge Road watch for potential debris. Conditions continue to change. Hwy 34 is closed from the Fall River Entrance to Deer Ridge Junction. Trail Ridge Road is open from Beaver Meadows Entrance, Hwy 36, through to Grand Lake. However, travelers should plan for the possibility of night closures if conditions warrant.

The rest of Rocky Mountain National Park is closed to all recreational use. This includes the backcountry, all trails, secondary roads, picnic areas, and park campgrounds. Campers have relocated outside the park.
