Road system in Rocky Mountain National Park to close for maintenance in late July

Between July 23-26, the Wild Basin Road in Rocky Mountain National Park will be closed to all uses, including vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians for road maintenance, according to officials with the National Park.

The closure will occur at the Wild Basin Entrance Station — just west of CO Highway 7 and north of Allenspark — and will include the entire two-mile section of the road to the Wild Basin Trailhead.

“The park’s roads crew will be spreading gravel and grading this narrow road to address ruts, potholes and help with drainage,” the National Park said. “Due to the road being closed to all uses from July 23 through July 26, visitors should avoid this area of Rocky Mountain National Park during this time.”

The trailhead parking area for the Sandbeach Lake Trail will not be impacted by this closure.

For further information about Rocky Mountain National Park, please visit www.nps.gov/romo or call the park’s Information Office at 970-586-1206.
