What to know before heading to Rocky Mountain National Park this weekend [Video]

ESTES PARK, Colo. — Summer is an extremely busy time for Rocky Mountain National Park, and right now, there are ongoing closures and construction that could impact your next visit.

“We always take a picture down at the same place where he proposed, and then every year come back,” said Lauren Ferster, visiting the park with her husband and family. “Down in Moraine Park.”

Campers who visit every single year said Friday they had to make some adjustments to their plans ahead of time when booking.

“That used to be our campsite that we’d stay at, it was Moraine Park,” said Cole Gehler, whose family will stay are three different campgrounds in RMNP this time. “We expected it to be open this summer because it was closed last summer, a little bit bummed, but understandable.”

Moraine Park will remain closed this summer as construction continues for some much needed improvements.

Park officials say production in the field didn’t keep up with the initial construction deadlines.
