Trail Ridge Road Remains Closed Due To Snow

Though Trail Ridge Road "opened" for the season last week, the upper portions of the road remain closed due to snow. According to park social media posts:

Recent winter storms have brought fresh spring snow to the high elevation areas of Rocky Mountain National Park. If hiking on trails above 9,000 feet be prepared for snowpacked and icy trails.

Rocky's snowplow operators and trail crew have been hard at work to plow and re-open Trail Ridge Road. Due to the amount of snow on the road above 10,000 feet and a large boulder that has fallen in the road, Trail Ridge Road is still closed on the east side of the park at Many Parks Curve and on the west side of the park at the Colorado River Trailhead.

The road will re-open when it is safe for vehicles.

For the most current information on Trail Ridge Road please call the park's recorded phoneline at 970-586-1222 or follow us on Twitter @RockyNPS.
