Arapaho & Roosevelt National Forests
Pawnee National Grassland

The U.S. Forest Service closes roads seasonally for many reasons. Some roads are closed to protect wildlife at critical times of the year, others are closed because they are not passable due to snow, snow drifts and ice or to protect the road bed.

Boulder, Canyon Lakes, and Clear Creek Ranger Districts and the Pawnee National Grassland have specific information for your use. For information about seasonal road closures on the Sulphur Ranger District please contact their district office.

The Colorado Department of Transporation (CDOT) will be closing the gate on the Mount Evans Road at Summit Lake on Tuesday, September 8th at 8:00 a.m. Visitors will no longer be able to drive to the top, but still can visit the Dos Chappell Nature Center and Summit Lake.
