It’s a sign of the season… Rocky Mountain National Park has officially closed Trail Ridge Road to cars for the winter…
(Nation’s Highest Road Closes for Winter :25)
Trail Ridge is the highest continuous paved road in the nation, climbing to more than 12 thousand feet above sea level. The road is closed at the “Many Parks Curve” overlook on the east side of the park, and at the Colorado River trailhead on the west. It usually reopens during the last week of May, each spring. Trail Ridge will be open to bicycles and leashed pets through November 30th. Starting December 1st, only pedestrians, snowshoers, and cross-country skiers will be allowed beyond the closed gates.
