Rocky Mountain National Park reopened more trails this week after the park was devastated by multiple wildfires nearly seven months ago.
In October, RMNP fully closed for several weeks after it was hit by the Cameron Peak and East Troublesome fires. About 30,000 acres, or 9% of the park, burned in the fires.
Since then, more than 50% of the park has reopened.
On the east side of the park, the North Fork, North Boundary, Stormy Peaks, Mummy Pass and the Emmaline Lake trails reopened this week.
Some, but not all, of the trails in the Upper Beaver Meadows area and most of the trails in the Moraine Park area have also reopened.
