Rocky Mountain National Park Backcountry/Wilderness Plan
Backcountry/Wilderness Management Plan and Environmental Assessment FONSI FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT BACKCOUNTRY/WILDERNESS MANAGEMENT PLAN AND ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK The Backcountry/Wilderness Management Plan for Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) was developed to address issues and provide guidelines for managing the non-developed areas of the park that are defined as backcountry or as designated, recommended, or potential wilderness. Park management proposed this new plan because the 1984 Backcountry Management Plan mainly addresses overnight use in the backcountry/wilderness and is inadequate for addressing management direction, consistency, and needs. The new plan details a wide array of issues and identifies specific standards for managing administrative actions and visitor use. The plan formalizes many current backcountry/wilderness management practices that have been in effect for the past twenty years. It does not affect developed areas, roads, or frontcountry park uses. The new plan supercedes any direction or guidance set forth in the 1984 Backcountry Management Plan. The adoption of this plan is not part of the recommendation before Congress to officially designate a large portion of the park as wilderness. An Environmental Assessment (EA) was conducted to examine plan alternatives. The EA involves detailed analysis of two alternatives and describes the potential impacts associated with implementing the proposed plan (Alternative A), or maintaining the current status of backcountry and wilderness management with no written standards (Alternative B). The EA was available for public review and comment beginning on January 19, 2001, and the review period was extended to April 6, 2001, which provided an opportunity for public input on the alternatives.

Fields of flowers, baby animals, twittering birds? How about white mountains and snowfalls measured in feet? Springtime in Rocky Mountain National Park is all of these and more. Actually, springtime in Rocky can feel like any season of the year: sunny, snowy, rainy, windy, warm, and cold. Spring days can be gorgeous with crystal blue skies and bright sunshine that pours down over the mountains. But traditionally, some of the park’s biggest snowfalls occur in March and April. Snow into early June up on the mountaintops is not uncommon. Trail Ridge Road is scheduled to open for the season on May 22 this year, but its opening is always weather-dependent and it stays open as long as weather and road conditions permit. Spring snows are usually quite wet, which is great for forest fire prevention but not always great for activities like snowshoeing, Dream Lake in springtime NPS/John Marino backcountry skiing, and early season hiking.
