Park and Trail Conditions
Parks & Trail Profiles | Trail Ratings | Facebook | Twitter
5/13/13 Update: All trails in the system are reported as dry.
With Colorado's ever-changing weather and the long reach of our park system, park and trail conditions may vary widely. In general, north-facing slopes stay muddier and snow-packed longer. South-facing slopes dry out more quickly. Estimate 10 degrees colder than the Denver metro area for every 1,000-feet elevation gain.
Share the trails and show care for them. Avoid muddy trails. When you do encounter mud, stay on trail to prevent widening and braiding. For a system map, park maps, and trail profiles, click here.
Most trail updates below are posted prior to the weekend, but not over the weekend. Our trails hotline, 303-271-5975, is an additional resource for trail closures, openings and conditions. We also update social media with field reports and photos.
Share your experience. Post or tweet about your outing!
Please note: The descriptions are general characterizations of the trail on the day updated. Conditions can rapidly change. Be prepared with appropriate footwear and outerwear.
