Yesterday's spring snowstorm brought more snow to high elevation areas of Rocky Mountain National Park. This morning, there was over a foot of new snow on the ground at Rainbow Curve and snow is still falling. More snow is in the extended forecast over the next several days.
We are grateful for the additional moisture brought by this spring snowstorm.
Based on current conditions, along with incoming weather and wind in the extended forecast for high elevation areas of RMNP, it is unknown when Trail Ridge Road will open to vehicles for through travel.
Trail Ridge Road is currently closed at Many Parks Curve on the east side of the park and at Colorado River Trailhead on the west side of the park. Keep an eye on the RMNP webpage and official social media accounts for updates.
Thank you to the RMNP Roads Crew for all their hard work to clear snow from park roads!
