Park staff will be removing hazard trees beginning today on Trail Ridge Road above Many Parks Curve as part of ongoing beetle mitigation work. The road is closed for the season on the east side of Rocky Mountain National Park at Many Parks Curve and the road has converted to trail status. Temporary work stoppages can occur, on occasion, to allow hikers through.
Mitigation work may also occur on Trail Ridge Road above Deer Ridge Junction later this fall. Temporary delays may occur on the road during this project. These projects will not take place on weekends.
