Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National park opened today, Monday, June 6 at 10:15 a.m. for the season. This year, park snowplow operators have faced many challenges while clearing the road; encountering the most snow they have seen this late in the season for thirty years. The amount of winter snowpack that faced park snowplow operators when plowing began, combined with late spring storms, hampered park snowplowing efforts.

落基山国家公园的小径岭路于6月6日，星期一上午10：15正式开通。今年，公园的铲雪车操作员在清理道路时面临诸多挑战;他们遭遇了30年来季末最深的积雪。 铲雪工作在开始时所面临的堆积的冬季积雪量，加上晚春的暴风雨，阻碍了公园的除雪进程。

Trail Ridge Road historically opens on Memorial Day weekend; last year the road opened on May 28. The latest the road has opened in the past twenty years was June 4, 1994; the latest the road has ever opened was June 26, 1943. of Estes Park and Grand Lake. Trail Ridge Road officially closed for the season last year on October 29; however, it never reopened after October 22.

小径岭路传统上在阵亡将士纪念日周末开通;去年该道路于5月28日开通。在过去的20年里，这条路最晚的开通日期是在1994年6月4日，有记录以来最晚一次开通是在1943年6月26日。小径岭路连接着埃斯特斯帕克镇和大湖镇两镇。该道路在上一个通行季于去年10月29日正式关闭；然而，实际上自10月22日之后就再也没有重新开通。

Because weather conditions may change rapidly, park visitors should be prepared to adjust travel plans accordingly and are encouraged to call the park's Trail Ridge Road recorded phone line at (970) 586-1222. Park staff will update the recorded line during and after regular office hours, when the road status changes.

Visitors planning to recreate in the park's backcountry should be prepared for heavy/wet snow, slush and ice. Avalanche danger remains a concern and backcountry users should expect to encounter conditions that present additional hazards and risks than what is typically encountered this time of year such as steep snow slopes, thin ice over water, snow cornices, snow bridges over moving water, and fast moving streams.

计划在公园的野外区域活动的游客应为厚重/潮湿的积雪、雪泥和冰面做好准备。 雪崩的危险仍然值得关注，野外活动者应该预料到会遇到比往年此时通常情况更具危害和风险的条件，如陡峭的雪坡，水面上覆盖的薄冰，雪檐，跨越流动水体的雪桥，和快速流动的溪流。
