National Park Service Rocky U.S. Department of the Interior Mountain The official newspaper National of Rocky Mountain National Park Park Park News Spring 2015 March 22, 2015 - June 13, 2015 Enjoy Your Visit By Katy Sykes, Information Office Manager What pictures in your mind does the word "springtime" conjure up? 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. -

Bring your field guides and binoculars, and don’t forget your camera. As with any wild animals, you never know when or where you’ll see them, and consider yourself fortunate to see what you can. Winter is a good time to look for large mammals... Ö Elk and mule deer are most active at dusk and dawn, and are usually seen in meadow areas. Ö You might catch a glimpse of elk in Horseshoe Park. Ö Deer Mountain is well-named, as it is usually a good place to see mule deer. Ö The best place to look for moose is along the Colorado River on the park’s west side. Ö Look for bighorn sheep along the Highway 34/Fall River corridor on the park’s east side. Ö Coyotes may be seen any time of day. -
