Recent spring snowstorms this week brought more snow to high elevation areas of Rocky Mountain National Park. Additional snow is in the forecast for areas above 9,000 feet tonight and tomorrow.
We are grateful for the additional moisture brought by these late spring storms.
Based on current conditions of wind-blown snow, additional snow accumulation, and icy roads, 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. Due to an unexpected system outage, Trail Ridge Road recorded status line is currently offline.
Thank you to the RMNP Roads Crew for their continued hard work this spring!
