When will Trail Ridge Road open?

Rocky Mountain National Park posted this on their social media yesterday:
Spring opening operations continue on Trail Ridge Road. Rocky Mountain National Park's Roads Crews began plowing in April and are hard at work clearing snow drifts and plowing parking areas to get ready for summer visitors.

When will Trail Ridge Road open? It depends! The opening of the road is based on weather and conditions. Historically, the central portion of Trail Ridge Road opens on Memorial Day weekend.

Trail Ridge Road remains closed to vehicles at Many Parks Curve on the east side of the park and at the Colorado River Trailhead on the west side of the park.

Pedestrians and bicycles are permitted to travel on Trail Ridge Road past vehicle closure points, however they must adhere to the posted orange "Road Closed to All Traffic" signs. Violators will cited.
