  • How to Prepare for Traveling on I-70 in Glenwood Canyon (Spring 2021)
    How to prepare for traveling on I-70 in Glenwood Canyon (Spring 2021) I-70 in Glenwood Canyon Motorists traveling on Interstate 70 should prepare for reduced speeds, slick roads and limited visibility in Glenwood Canyon, as well as other spring weather conditions that are common along the I-70 mountain corridor. If there is rain in the forecast, motorists should anticipate a possible safety closure of I-70, rest areas and the Glenwood Canyon bike path in the canyon. These safety closures are to protect the traveling public from the potential for debris flow, mudslides or rockfall. Construction impacts will be much lighter on I-70 in Glenwood Canyon compared to Summer 2020. To ensure safety, motorists should plan for occasional lane closures, obey reduced speeds and drive with caution. CDOT also urges travelers to stay focused on the road and avoid distracted driving. Please see below for information about the Glenwood Canyon rest areas and bike path. How to plan ahead Motorists planning to travel on I-70, visit rest areas or ride the bike path in Glenwood Canyon should pay close attention to weather forecasts. I f there is rain in the forecast, be prepared for a safety closure of I-70, rest areas and bike path. CDOT recommends that travelers have a back up plan in the event that closures are necessary. Please refer to w ww.cotrip.org for the latest road conditions and route options. More information is below for planning an alternate route. CDOT also recommends that travelers bring an emergency kit with water, snacks, a flashlight and a blanket, as mountain conditions often change suddenly.

  • TRAIL RIDGE ROAD SNOW PLOWING by Katy Sykes, Assistant to the Superintendent
    May, 2003 TRAIL RIDGE ROAD SNOW PLOWING By Katy Sykes, Assistant to the Superintendent Trail Ridge Road, one of the great alpine highways in the United States, traverses the park for 48 miles and reaches an elevation of 12,183 feet. The highest continuous road in America, the road connects the towns of Estes Park on the east and Grand Lake on the west. The park does not plow the central portion of the road in the winter, but keeps it partially open to Many Parks Curve on the east side and the Colorado River Trailhead on the west side. Plows work to clear snow from Trail Ridge Road. The rotary plow in front works as a "pioneer" to make the first path through the snow. Then a second plow widens the Plowing operations start in April. Of course, spring storms cleared area, usually the width of the road, to allow the and squalls can bring snow to already plowed areas, roadway to melt out. causing plow operators to re-plow some areas, some years many times over. Last weekend, 14 foot high drifts blew back on the road in one area! According to Chuck Stalker, Acting Roads Foreman, plowed roads act like snow fences to accumulate blowing and drifting snows. Enthusiastic and dedicated plow operators work safely and take the storms in stride. Snow depths are encouraging after last year's drought. As of the first week of May, east side plow operators are to Rock Cut, where drifts are up to 22 feet deep, which is higher than the rotary plows! On the west side, plows are to Medicine Bow Curve.
