Trail conditions in Rocky Mountain National Park are beginning to change as ice and snow begin to melt. With over 350 miles of trails to choose from, it's a great time to get outside and enjoy spring snow.For information on hiking the trails in the park, please visit RockyMountainHikingTrails.com
If planning to visit destinations located above 9,000 feet in elevation, expect snow and ice on the trails. Traction devices are recommended. To see what the conditions are like on different trails, visit https://www.nps.gov/romo/planyourvisit/trail_conditions.htm
Before heading out into the backcountry, make sure that everyone in your group is avalanche aware. If recreating in these areas, all members of your party are advised to have rescue equipment, education and experience to make informed decisions about traveling in avalanche terrain.
For detailed information on avalanche conditions, visit the Colorado Avalanche Information Center webpage at https://avalanche.state.co.us/ and follow them on social media.
