The Old Fall River Road will close to vehicles for the season starting October 8, with maintenance breaks and reopening for bicycles and pedestrians until late November.
Opened in 1920, Old Fall River Road is a gravel route known for its scenic switchbacks, offering a unique experience compared to the paved Trail Ridge Road.
Even as Old Fall River Road closes to cars, visitors can engage in winter activities like snowshoeing, sledding, and wildlife spotting in Rocky Mountain National Park.
Road closures for winter are common in national parks; Yellowstone and Glacier National Park also shut sections of their roads to manage seasonal challenges.
