There is currently a 2.5 mile section of the Grand Ditch Road which is temporarily closed. This section of the road is from the Little Yellowstone Trailhead to the Thunder Pass Trailhead. This section of the road will be closed to public travel through October 15, 2009.

All park trails and backcountry campsites in this area, other than this section of road, will remain open to public during this time. This temporary closure is in place to allow for repairs of the Windy Point Section of the Grand Ditch, which is where the 2003 Grand Ditch breach occurred.

For more information on Rocky Mountain National Park please call the park’s information office at (970) 586-1206.
