According to authorities at Rocky Mountain National Park, a rock slide occurred on Trail Ridge Road on Sunday between Hidden Valley and the Many Parks Curve, temporarily closing the road while rocks were removed.
The closure was put in place above Hidden Valley, allowing for removal of rocks on the road above. While Trail Ridge Road as a through-route remains closed until late-May due to winter weather conditions, many drive stretches of Trail Ridge Road that remain open to witness some of the stunning views that make this route so iconic.
According to the park, a seasonal closure remains in place between the Many Parks Curve on the east side of the park, 8 miles from the east side entrance and the Colorado River Trailhead on the west side, approximately 10 miles from the Grand Lake entrance.
Information about whether or not anyone was injured during the rock slide or if the rock slide caused permanent damage to the road were not released.
