GRAND COUNTY, LARIMER COUNTY, Colo. (KDVR) — Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park is now open to hikers, bikers and motorists for the season.

Those wanting to walk and cycle the west side may only go as far as Milner Pass and the Continental Divide.

On the east side, vehicles may go as far as Rainbow Curve. Walkers and cyclists must stop at Rock Cut.
