Following a recent winter storm, many trails in Rocky Mountain National Park are now covered with a new layer of snow and ice. Did you remember to bring a set of traction devices?
Traction devices come in many different styles and are a great tool to help prevent slips and falls when hiking on icy trails. These devices attach to the bottom of your hiking boots and give you traction. Hiking poles are also very helpful.
This weekend, expect snow on the Bear Lake Nature Trail, as well as the trail to Nymph, Dream, and Emerald Lakes and most other high elevation destinations inside RMNP.

The park's trail conditions report is best used as a general guide. Conditions on trails can change rapidly, based on weather and other factors. Trail conditions can vary from what was last described in this report.
