Is Hwy 7 currently the only way into Estes Park?

COtrip says it is, but the banner on their home page says 1 October which is a bit out of date. And they don't list county/city/local closures.


It's for a bidness trip, not looking at silly tree leaves.

As far as I know the only way is to go around...its about a 2.5hr detour, but that was last I heard when I was working out on Hwy 7 a week and a half ago. They might have opened up parts of 7 to get to Estes.

I'm pretty sure that Estes Park is accessible via 7

As for Trail Ridge road, isn't there Barrycades in the way?

I honesty wondered if they would put up some Barrycades if it was the only route? Could you imagine the backlash...EPIC

According to one website it says its closed due to Obama barrycading us.

Boulder Canyon was reopened as of 4:00pm today. That will take you to the Peak To Peak Byway and Hwy7. The other option is Hwy46 to Hwy119, Hwy6 to Hwy119 or i70 to Central City Pky to Hwy 119.

All other access is closed.

Thanks guys, went up the canyon to Nederland and the road was in good shape.
